MSDE Install Hangs During Install

Please help!
The istall hangs at:
Executing "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\sqlredis.exe
/q:a"
The work-around code in the MS white papers is not an option,
What is up?
This effects us a great deal as well. I have to say the whole install
scenario for MSDE 2000 has been incredibly frustrating with many issues that
MS could fix, simply KB articled instead.
You can't depend on users not running applications that occasionally stop
pumping their message queue. This just stops the installer dead.

|||We are having and the install hang at the exact same point. Previously in
the thread there was a reference to a knowledge base article. If there is a
workaround could you post a link to that article or white paper please.
Also mentioned is the fact that the other applications can stop the intstall
by their affect on the message queue. Would having the user close all other
programs stop the install from failing in this case?
