Since SQL 6.5 is a very old version, information about this may not be
that readily available. There are many experienced SQL Server users who
have never seen that version. I've run that install wizard a couple of
times, but I'm not going to write up an installation instruction from that.

The best advice for documentation I can give is that you first install
the tools only, so that you get Books Online, so you can read the
Setup instructions.

If you have specific questions, you can post them here, and maybe someone
can answer.

Finally, two reminders:
* SQL 6.5 is a very different architecture from SQL 2000.
* Don't forget to install SP5a, the last service pack foe 6.5.
