Installation Issue

I have a test server that is a domain controller.
It is running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise.
Running SQL Server 2000 Enterprise with SP3a and hotfix 859.
I installed Reporting Services successfully.
Due to machine configuration changes, I uninstalled reporting services.
I have not been able to put it back on - its really strange - I get the
dialog box that says it successfully installed the SQL Server Reporting
Services Setup Support Files. When I click the Next button nothing happens.
If I reboot the machine and log back in as Administrator, I get the Error
Report dialog:
SQL Server Setup encountered an error and needed to close.
Of course, I choose "Send" to send the error report.
What I would like to do is generate an install log, to see why it is dying.
Can anyone tell me what command-line switch I can use to pass to the
setup.exe to put the log file, say on the c:\msi.log location?

I used this:
Setup.exe /lfarmviewcup c:\setupmsi.log
Any other suggestions?
