Installation problems

I am installing SQL server 2005 in a different location than the default one specified. Half way through the installation I get the following error:

The file %CommonDir%\dte80a.olb could not be loaded. An attempt to repair this condition failed because the file could not be found. Please reinstall the program.

There are also other similar errors regarding files with .olb extensions.

Can anyone explain what can be done in this case?

Thanks,

Hemant

I've heard of people hitting these issues when the libraries get unregistered on the machine somehow. Can you try to manually register it using regsvr32 and kick it off again? That should do the trick.

Thanks,
