On a Win2Ksp3 server I am trying to install MSDE. However everytome the
installation nears the end and then rolls back. All I get in the log is:

Event Type: Information
Event Source: MsiInstaller
Event Category: None
Event ID: 11708
Date: 04/05/2004
Time: 22:30:20
User: N/A
Computer: ORASERVER1
Description:
Product: Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine -- Installation operation
failed.

This came about after uninstalling BackupExec9.0 and attemtping a install of
BackupExec9.1 which also fails because it cannot install MSDE. Any ideas, I
cannot find much in Knowledgebase.

TIA
