I have a SQL 2000 db and I just tried to upgrade from 4.9 to 5.0.1.  As mentionned in other posts, there seems to be a bug with the installation script not beeing compatible with a SQL 2000 db.  My log files were reporting errors with the packages table.  Anyway I ran the script manually after correcting a few things however I still receive some errors related to Module definitions.   If I go Host > Modules Definitions I get 2 errors.  I do receive other errors in Languages, Skin, and my event viewer is now reporting  errors as well.  However I believed all those are related to the same problem.  See errors below:

The SQL 2000  incompatibility was suppose to be fix with 5.1.1 so I tried to install it.  The installation went #1 but I still get those errors in the host or admin pages. If any of you would have a suggestion I am all ears.

Thanks,
Eric

Mitch when I installed 5.0.1 I got some errors but after when I installed 5.1.1 I had no errors.  What do you recommand? Can I re lauch the installation or install those modules manually without having access to the module definition host page?
 

Here is what I got when installing 5.01:

 Eric:

I am experiencing the same exact problem.  Did you get this solved?  I read something about SQL running out of memory.  Did you run those failed scripts again?

Thanks.
