Installation MSDE - worked first time not second

Hello,
On my Window 2000 machine I was able to install MSDE one time. However, was
having trouble actually connecting to the new database server so I though I
would reinstall. Well, I have not had a succesful reinstall yet (I was
closer the first time around). Now, I am a long ways off from developing
anything with MSDE and the instruction on how to set this DB Server up is
not apparent!
I am very frustrated. I don't know what to do at this point.
Please help.
Karl

please make sure that previous MSDE installation has been completely fixed,
removing all file system and registry entries as described in
http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;Q290991
this will clean up all info of previously installed and (partially) removed
instances but Window Installer registry entries..
in order to clear them to, you have to follow
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;320873 advices,
using MSIZap.exe from Platform SDK... I never cleared that and have found no
further problems, but my registry is now dirty :-(

|||Thanks, I will follow these steps. I have tried similar steps.
Just recently, I have been trying to obtain the MSIZAP.EXE application but
it is wrapped in together with another SDK. Well, this SDK as failed 2 times
now to install, using the ActiveX installer from MS. So now what? Is there
another way to obtain MSIZAP.EXE?
By the way, this is a fresh copy of Win2K loaded on this system... I'm not
having much luck.
