installation problems

I downloaded the latest version (I guess) and tried to install, but it
doesn't seem to have installed. The file name is MSDE2000A.exe, and it's
about 43meg.
I double-click, go through the whole thing accepting all the default
options, and when I am done, I see nothing in the services dialog that
indicates I have installed this. Nor do I see the thing in the system tray
that I see referenced in this group in other threads.
Anyone know what I am doing wrong?
I should add that I'm on Windows 2000 Pro, no SP. It's in a lab, so it's got
no internet access and is a fresh, clean install of Windows.

in order to install MSDE you have to run the setup.exe bootstrap installer
passing in the required/desired parameters...
that's to say you have to open a command prompt windows, navigate to the
folder you unpacked the Web downloaded package and run
C:\...\>setup.exe <parameters list>
you can see all supported parameters at
