MS SQL Server 2000 destop engine install fails

Hello
This is a weird one.
Trying to install the MS SQL Server 2000 desktop engine but it fails without
error. In fact, the installer goes through the motions of installing and
then unwinds the install; the progress bar goes backwards?
setup.exe SAPWD="1232"
Any ideas?
TIA
Russell MorganRussell,
You can set up verbose logging that will give you information on your
setup to debug the problem. Below is a section of the readme that applies
and an example of the syntax of your setup string:
Requesting a Setup Log
You will need a verbose log to verify that the installation succeeded or to
assist in debugging any problems that occur.
To generate a verbose log, specify /L*v <LogFileName>. <LogFileName> is the
name of a log file where Setup will record all of its actions. If you do not
specify a path as part of the name, the log file is created in the current
folder. If you are executing Setup from a compact disc, you must specify the
full path to a folder on the hard disk of your computer.
This example creates a log file, MSDELog.log, in the root folder of the C:
drive:
setup SAPWD="AStrongSAPassword" /L*v C:/MSDELog.log
Hope this helps
