Full Text option install

I have been trying to figure out why my full text menu option is not
working and it seems it is not installed.
I did get a 0 when I did the:
SELECT fulltextserviceproperty('IsFulltextInstalled')
Why wouldn't it be installed? Is it a special option? How do I install it.
Here is the results from select @.@.version
Microsoft SQL Server 7.00 - 7.00.623 (Intel X86)

Thanks,
Tom.It is not selected by default in the setup program. Run setup again and
select the ft index service.

Does this have to be run from the CD, or can it be run off the harddisk
with what is already there?
Thanks,
Tom.

When I try to load from the CD, it will only allow me to load the full
install (either desktop or standard). There doesn't seem to be a way to
install optional items the way 6.5 did.

You're right. When I ran the install further, it allows me to install
other options.
But the only other 2 options not chose are development tools and code
samples. Everything else is checked.
So, why isn't full text search not showing? Could it be because on this
machine I only have the desktop version running?

your machine?

No. There is an indexing service, but that appears to be for something else.
I also have SQL server 7 loaded on my MS2K server as a standard edition
and it doesn't work there, either.
