MSDE Install Tangle

I have to yet successfully install MSDE on my machine. I suspect there is installation lint from previous attempts, however for the life of me I can't seem to get it running.

Attached is my log file from the latest attempt. I am really stumped.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

MikeAfter add remove and deleting folders, try running through the registry and do a search for SQL. Only delete keys found which tie back to the MSSQL Install path (i.e. C:\\Program files\MSSQL\...)

You will find lots of old junk - clear all this, reboot and reinstall.

Good luck!
