  I need to install SQL on a machine to which I do not have physical access.  The machine is housed in a colocation facility some 2 hours away.  It's running 2003 Server Web edition and I'm trying to install SQL 2000 Enterprise.  When I connect via Remote Desktop and try to launch the setup, Installshield starts then disappears. 

  Any suggestions?

  Thanks in advance,

  John
