Question : MSDE Installlation

I am trying to install the MSDE but I don't seem to be having much luck.  I have copied the msde2000 directory off of the cd into the d:\download\msde directory and then I made the directory and all its contents so it wasn't read only.  Opened the setup.ini file and put the following lines inside of it

[Options]
TARGETDIR="D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\Mssql\Binn"
DATADIR="D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\Mssql\Data"
COLLATION="SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS"
USEDEFAULTSAPWD


saved it and then I ran following from the run command.

D:\download\msde\setup.exe /settings D:\download\msde\setup.ini


I see it run through the installation process.   I can see it creating directories in my d: drive were I specified.   When I see it finally reach 0 seconds left to install I see the seconds jump back to 30 and the status bar moves in reverse and it then removes all the directories it created on the install and I am left with nothing from what I can tell.  I don't get any error messages  or anything.  Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong and what the proper way to do this is.   I am installing this on a Windows 2000 workstation.

Try doing the install with verbose logging
switch = /l*v

What are you installing on? Are you an administrator?
