MSDE 2000a installation failure on XP Pro

Hi,
Everyone know why MSDE 2000a is refusing to load on a XP Pro wiht Office SBS installed on it. It seems to have MSDE already but the default instance isn't accessible so I tried to install under another instance name. I have set the SA password.
File and print sharing is installed and running (I think). I'm able to share out folders.
Any suggestions?
Jim

I'm not aware of such limitation... but, anyway, please add the /L*v
"c:\..\Log.txt" command line parameter in order to
inspect the resulting log file..
