configuring SQL server 7.0 client on a windows xp pro machine

I am about to attempt to configure a SQL server 7.0 client on a windows XP
workstation. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice that will make this
install go smoothly?
I am not sure what will happen, but any advice would be helpful.

Client?
As in the MDAC stack?
XP has MDAC v2.8, which is backward compatible with SQL 7.0

|||Actually I was talking about installing the SQL server client software on a
windows xp professional workstation. I just inserted the cd and followed the
instructions. Everything seemed to work.
I also setup the ODBC settings for the various databases that were to be
connected for various applications that are used on this workstation.
Are there anything else I should look into with SQL server 7.0 and windows
xp professional.
Are there any updates to any of the drivers, applications, etc?
