please provide the
/L*v "c:\MSDElog.txt"
parameter to the setup.exe boostrap installer... this will log the
installation to a (about 2Mb) text file you can scan for troubleshooting..
search for
RETURN VALUE 3
entries... about 10-15 lines before of after that entries you can usually
find the problem you are facing..
