Installer confused about Sql Version

I'm installing RS on a server that currently has MSDE for several
applications. I've installed Sql Server 2000 on the box for the purpose of RS
but the installer keeps telling me I'm using the wrong version. Not sure what
to do?Are you trying to install RS to use MSDE? If so RS is not supported on
MSDE. If not, please explain your issue more clearly.

database will be installed to, I select the instance that is SQL 2000 and
receive the message:
aww...
Okay, after reading the message, it says I have the wrong version of SQL
2000. I thought the Developer edition was legit?

another server that's running RS, Version 8.00.760 (SP3)

I've uninstalled all MSDE databases. I have only SQL 2000 Developer and it
still says: "This edition of the Report Server Database is not supported on
the edition of SQL Server 2000 you have chosen. Please choose another SQL
Server that matches the requirements.
So where does the installer go to check what the current version is. Perhaps
my database instance is screwed. Is there a way to change the Sql 2000
instance name?

version of RS on the Dev edition of SQL 2000. Please refer to the following
article on editions supported by RS:
