Iam having some problems installing an MSDE database. I have downloaded MSDE2000A from the microsoft website and iam running the setup from the command promt using the following command : sql2000.msi BLANKSAPWD=1

the setup starts to run fine, then it gets to a point in the installation and the progress bar starts to go backwards and the setup exits without any errors being logged or any indication that the install failed, except that in the Add / Remove programs section of controll pannel there is nothing related to MSDE installed.

how can i remedy this situation?

Check for any errors in the eventlog, there may be an error logged there.
