MSDE 2000 Install Problem

Hi
I am trying to install MSDE 2000 sp3 on a Windows XP that has had a previous
installation in the past. The previous installation has been removed, but
when I try installing MSDE again from the command prompt, it starts to set
up the gives me an error saying installation failed.
I have deleted the Microsoft SQL Server directory from Program Files,
cleaned out all registry entries for the instance name and have run the
install using the following command:
Setup.exe /qb+ INSTANCENAME=VSDOTNET DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=1
SAPWD=<password>
Obviously replacing <password> with an appropriate password.
Are there any other known issues that anyone knows that will get this
installation working? Any advice would be appreciated.
Regards
Jason
hi Jason,
please add the
/L*v 'c:\...\log.txt'
parameter, in order to get a 2mb log file for the installation, where you
can search for
"value 3"
as error indication
