Install issue w/MSDE2000 on XP Pro U/G

I have just recently upgraded a system from 98SE to XP
Pro. In doing so the MSDE2000 stopped functioning. I
ran a full uninstall and then tried a reinstall. That
didn't work. Found several KB articles on manually
uninstalling MSDE2000 and I still can't get it to work.
I have have checked that the server service is running,
I've cleaned the temp folder, removed old registry keys,
everything. When I run the install it gets almost to the
end and then rolls backwards, without giving any errors.
I don't want to have to reload the system. Any help on
this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
Tim Davis

please add the
/L*v "c:\MsdeLog.txt"
parameter to your command line parameter list..
this will instruct MSDE setup to produce a verbose log text file, about 2mb,
where you can search for
RETURN VALUE 3
conditions, which will elaborate the fail causes, in order to help
