MSDE 2000 install on W2K3 64bit

I'm trying to install MSDE 2000 on an Itanium system running 64bit Windows
2003 Server. The install fails and the eventviewer shows:
Product: Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine -- Setup failed to configure
the server. Refer to the server error logs and setup error logs for more
information.
The install log contains:

I looked at the list of supported operating systems for MSDE and W2K3 Server
64 was not one of them.
Given that there is a special 64 bit version of SQL Server for this OS, I
would be surprised if MSDE installed on W2K3 Server 64.
