IIS Virtual Directory Management for SQL Server

I got the IIS Virtual Directory Management for SQL Server working but I
deleted the Virtual Directory and then went to reinstate it I got the error
"An Error occurred creating virtual directory [VD Name] The virtual
directory already exists"
Do I need to reinstall anything?
What are the correct service packs to have on a server Windows 2003 and SQL
2000?

|||Hi Dean,
There is no special requirements for a specific service pack for Windows
2003. For SQL 2000, you should have SP3 with you.
Are you using the MMC tool from the SQL 2000 installation or have you
installed the latest version of SQLXML from
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...-us/dnanchor/h
tml/anch_SQLXML.asp)
Generally this kind of error should not happen and is not dependent on the
version of the operating system. In your case you should check using the
Internet Information Services manager on the machine to see if the Virtual
Directory still exists If it is not there and you still see the error you
can use the Metabase edit tool from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/840671
to check and edit the IIS metabase store.
Thank you,
