Cannot install MSDE 2000

  • I am getting a "Setup Failed to Configure the Server" message when attempting to install a client application which includes MSDE 2000 w/SP4

    The article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816499 describes this happening when the computer previously had MSDE with the same named instance.

    I have deleted all MS SQL folders and registry keys referencing MSSQL but I am still getting the resulot above. Any ideas?

  • A little more information:

    Here is the error log from the MSSQL folder:
