Release A on several systems, along with our own app which uses .NET. About
half the PCs halt the installation, usually when there is '7 seconds left'
and just hang. Same problem on XP SP1 and even old Win98 SE.
all right, see the 320873 article from microsoft's knowledge base to
manually remove a msde. since you don't have msde installed anymore, looking
for the key in registry and delete them.
after that, try to install msde 2000 (not msde 2000 rel a) and sp3.

It appears that it installs SQL 7.

installing SP3a.

searched for "microsoft sql server" and found more than a hundred. I can't
tell from the log file which entry is causing the problem.

would remove the orphans. But, I am still having the problem.

There is an error line in the install log file:
......

...and in the error log from the newly-crtated SQL folder: (created by cnfgsvr?)
