Install Error

I was using SQL 7. I uninstalled this and started installing SQL Server 2000 DEsktop Engine. However, install never goes thru and I get this message.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
ThanksHave you tried what the message says?|||This is what the READ ME file says.

3.1.4 Desktop Engine Setup Parameters

SQL Server Books Online topics "Merging the Desktop Engine into
Windows Installer" and "SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine Setup"
document two parameters that are ignored by the final version
of the Desktop Engine Setup: USEDEFAULTSAPWD and SAPASSWORD.

By default, when run on the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 or Windows
2000 operating system, the Desktop Engine Setup configures the
installed instance of Microsoft SQL Server to use Windows
Authentication, and places the Windows local administrator's group
in the SQL Server sysadmin fixed server role. When running Desktop
Engine Setup on the Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 operating
system, you can specify a SECURITYMODE=SQL parameter to have the
installed instance configured to use SQL Server Authentication
with a null sa password. When run on the Windows 98 operating
system, the Desktop Engine Setup always configures the installed
instance to use SQL Server Authentication, regardless of whether
or not SECURITYMODE=SQL is specified.

A set of Desktop Engine merge modules that have been merged into
a Windows Installer setup has the same behavior. On the Windows
NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 operating systems, the instance of SQL
Server is configured to use Windows Authentication if
SECURITYMODE=SQL is not specified, and is configured to use SQL
Server Authentication if SECURITYMODE=SQL is specified. The
instance is always configured to use SQL Server Authentication
on the Windows 98 operating system.

You can specify SECURITYMODE=SQL in the same locations where you
can use USEDEFAULTSAPWD or SAPASSWORD. For more information, see
the SQL Server Books Online topics "Merging the Desktop Engine
into Windows Installer" and "SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine Setup."

Anyway, under the SETUP.INI file, I placed SAPWD=<PASSWORD> and the installation went through.
