Install problem

I am having a problem installing SQL express. I have 2.0 framework installed as well as the other express software. I also have Visual Studio 2003 installed. Do I need to uninstall other version of Visual Studio? Do I need to uninstall other versions of SQL. I get an error but it does not tell me what the problem is.

Thank you

Dee

Also can we somehow add the icons for the install to our desktop, if so how?

|||Take a look at the following file: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Summary.txt. It should have information regarding the failure with a pointer to the full log file. When you find the full error log file you'll want to open it and search for "Value 3" (I know not very intuitive but that's the way Windows Installer logs errors). Take a look at a few lines above and below the line with "Value 3". If you don't understand what it's telling you go ahead and post the error back here.|||I'm not clear on what you're asking. Do you want to save the installation package to your desktop?|||No, the exec to start the program, but someone answered that for me. Thank you|||

I took a look at the Suumary.txt file and do not understand where there is a problem.
