Error message: server component is not supported

I try to install Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Enterprise in my Windows 2000 Pro
machine.
When I run the setup, I clicked SQL Server 2000 Components | Install
Database Server
But it pops up an error message dialog saying
"Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition server component is not
supported on this operating system. only client components will be available
for installation"
Any ideas? I can only install client, but not server'
Please help!You need a better OS to run Enterprise edition. You can run the developer's
edition on 2000.

need Windows 2000 Server or Advanced Server. Alternatively, you can install
MSDE, Developer Edition, Personal Edition, or Evaluation Edition on Windows
2000 Pro.
