Installation problem

I'm trying to install SQL Server 2000 developer edition on my notebook,
but every time i select option for installation on local computer a get
following message:
A previous program installation created pendng file operations on the
installation machine. You must restart the computer before running
setup.
Restart doesn't help.I manualy clean all temporary folders, and check
Run section of registry. Any other installation on computer is running
without any problems. Does anybody know how to solve this?

As I undestood from your post , you have already installed SQL Server 2000
previously and used Add Remove Program to uninstall it , am I right?

Sorry, I tought you have already a DEFAULT instanse and try to install a
NAMED one, so I thin you have to go thru a registry and remove any
refernces to SQL Server if there are any.
