Install - datadir and targetdir (again)

Hi
I'm having a problem during installation: it stops when it is 5 seconds to
complete, and then rolls back.
However: If I delete the lines with datadir and targetdir from my ini-file,
it works fine. Anyone knows...?
I am using this ini file:
[Options]
Disablenetworkprotocols=0
Sequritymode=SQL
Datadir="C:\MSDE\Data\"
Targetdir="C:\MSDE\exefiler\"
...and I have logged it... doesn't help me... was hoping to find someone
who had experienced this

Hi
Does you have rights to create files and directories on the C drive?

please add the
/L*v "c:\YourLogFile.txt"
command line parameter to your call to the setup.exe boostrapper installer,
in order to enable verbose log for the installation... this will result in
an about 2mb text file you can inspect for
RETURN VALUE 3
entries...
about 10/15 lines before and/or after each entry some (sometime cryptic)
description of encountered problem will be shown
