creator, and i want to set an install condition of mssql server 2000 or greater in
the install file.

internet that is telling me anything.

I'm not sure how to determine if it is installed, but you could do a file search condition on master.mdf, it is a file that must exist for SQL server to work properly. If this file exists, you can make a good gues that SQL server is installed.
