Found it. The install command that I used:

SETUP SAPWD="wombat" created 'Windows Only Authentication'. A registry tweak
changed it to mixed, and then I could log on. Not sure exactly why Windows
authentication failed except that the admin name and pwd were different on
the MSDE machine from those on the machine that I was connecting from.
