Adding (local) SQL Server registration

Hi,
I am using windows 2000. I uninstalled SQL server 2000
and then reinstalled the client tools only. I deleted the
(local) SQL Server registration. Now I have problem with
adding it back. Even if I uninstall and reinstall the SQL
server the (local) SQL Server registration doesn't show
up.
When I try adding (local) SQL Server registration I am
getting this error:
(LOCAL)- SQLServer does not exist or access denied.
(local) is not showing up in my available servers list
when I try to add a new SQL Server Registration.
Does anybody know how can I add it back?
Thank you.

Hi,
It seems you have removed SQL Server from your machine and installed only
client tools. In this case you will not
have the local sql server. The (local) server can only be registered if you
have a SQL server installed in the
local machine.
Can you check the control -- Admin tools -- services for any MSSQLServer
service. If it is not there in the list then
you do not have a SQL Server installed in your machine.
Thanks

Thanks for your reply.
There is no SQLServerAgent or any similar service
running. I only installed client tools because other
options were grayed out and I got this error message:
'Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition server
component is not supported on this operating system. Only
client components will be available for installation.'
My operating system is windows 2000. I know that sql
server was runing on this system and I uninstalled it. It
seems that some Windows programs are deleted when I
uninstalled the SQL Server for the first time. Do you
know what should I check and what may be missing? I don't
want to reinstall my operating system.
Thank you,
Rosie

It seems edition of SQL Server you are tryng to install is not supported in
your current OS.
How to check the OS version
1. From the command prompt, execute WINMSD
2. In the system summary you can get the OS Name , if it is Windows
professional you can only install
SQL Server Personal edition and MSDE.
Have a look into the Edition supported in each OS. (From Books online)
