System Error Code 997 is 'Overlapped I/O operation in progress'. It's
possible that while the installation tries to configure the database it
finds the previous installation and it creates the error.

Do the following:

a. Go to the control panel and uninstall WSS 3.0
b. Follow the instructions on the link
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/920277 to uninstall the database
c. Reboot the computer and try reinstalling WSS 3.0 again

Hope that solves the problem

I did previously install and uninstall. How do I go about uninstalling the
database? In add and remove programms there seems to be no instance MSDE
or
SQL2000 that I could remove. The Spanish error text translates to "error
whil
encrypting or decrypting. System Error Code 997".

Thanks

Is this the first time you try to install WSS 3.0 or you tried to
installed
it before, you uninstalled it and then tried again? I ask because when
you
uninstall WSS 3, it doesn't remove the database (on a standalone install)
and you have to manually remote it. I don't speak Spanish, so I'm not
sure
what the description under 'Exception:' means

Thank you very much in helping on this problem. The first occurance of
exception in the log is as follows (the Spanish error text translates
to
"error whil encrypting or de crupting. System Error Code 997).

In the log file (which is pretty long) there should be an actual error
description. The list you posted doesn't help much since it doesn't
provide
help with the error. Scroll through the list find the first reference
to
the word "Exception" and posts a couple of lines before and after that
reference
