MSDE 2000 INSTALLATION PROBLEM URGENT HELP

I am trying to Install MSDE 2000 A latest version
and I am getting error
product:microsoft sql server desktop engine--installation
of the microsoft distributed transaction coroordinator
package failed
and this fails. I am installing on NT 4.0 Server Sp6a
version. Please help as I need this urgently to
Install Veritas Backup Software and is very critical.
The error log file MSDE.LOG is as follows:

I'm not sure this is the solution, but you may give it a try:
Stop all services that might interfere with MSDE or the performace counters.
- Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
- Performance Monitor
- Monitoring services like Surveyor or NetIQ
- Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC)
- Microsoft Search (MSSearch)
- Internet Information Services (IIS)
- WnsService (This service corresponds to the Canon printer driver.)
- Third-party performance monitor utilities that load performance counters.
- Antivirus programs.
In the "setup.ini".
[Options]
DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0
SAPWD="your-sa-password"
INSTANCENAME="db-instance-name"
SECURITYMODE=SQL
And run setup.exe
