Analysis Manager

I have some questions please help me:

1. Well,i have tried to download sql server 2000 and analysis manager service pack 4.But i didn't success yet.I don't know the reason why.When i download,there's a mesage that the download's success but when i tried to install or update using the download file there's a message that some file corrupt.Any suggestion for this?

2. I want to create relational data mining model using DSO and VB.Automatically i use relational table. My question is should i make a cube first in analysis manager instead of using dso in vb?

Thank you so much

For question 1, I would first try to reinstall SQL 2000 and then apply the SP - let me know if that works for you.

For #2, no, there is no need to create a cube to do data mining. Most data mining questions are answered the best through a relational source.
