MSDE Installation Error on Win9x

I am installing MSDE on win 9x machines and am having a problem. The installation aborts and the installshield unattend.iss script rolls back the installation. It seems the failure is in the cnfgsvr.exe program (based on the sqlstp.log file).

the command line that I use is:
msdex86 -s -a -f1 "c:\unattend.iss"

The log files sqlstp.log and cnfgsvr.out are included below.

I have seen some postings similar to this, but never a resolution. Any help would be appreciated...

Here are the log files...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~end cnfgsvr.out~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I am able to easily reproduce the error with the following steps:

1. Install WIN95b
2. Install IE5.5
3. Install MDAC 2.6SP1
4. Install MSDE

MSDE does not install on a win95 machine that has MDAC installed.

If I install MSDE, then MDAC it is OK.

Any thoughts??
