Installation error

I am trying to install SQLServer 2005 on a new Windows XP machine with SP2. Unfortuantely I get the error message "The drop location is missing file(s) that allow setup to determine how a multi instance product should be installed. Setup cannot continue, please repair the drop and try again." How do I fix this so that SQL Server can be installed?

Thanks for yor help on this

How are you trying to install SQL? From a CD? DVD? Network? What edition of SQL are you instaling?

Thanks,
