MSDE installation failure

I am having trouble getting MSDE to install. This is the error message that
I am getting in the log:
Executing "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\80\Tools\Binn\cnfgsvr.exe -V 1 -M 1 -U sa -I "CDC" -Q
"SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS""
Setup failed to configure the server. Refer to the server error logs and
setup error logs for more information.
Action ended 17:30:09: InstallFinalize. Return value 3.
My setup Ini file looks like this:
[Options]
INSTANCENAME="CDC"
SECURITYMODE=SQL
SAPWD="CDC2004"
DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=1
DATADIR="C:\Program Files\CDC2004\"
TARGETDIR="C:\Program Files\CDC2004\MSDE\"
I'm not sure of what is wrong. Any recommendations?
Thanks for your comments.

-- remove DMO to reply|||Hi Andrea,
Thanks for responding to my message.
I checked this out, but it doesn't seem to apply since this is the first
time I've installed MSDE. I also tried removing SQL Server 2000 from my
computer and trying to install MSDE, but that didn't seem to make a
difference.
I also tried downloading a different version of MSDE, but got the same
result.
Any other idea why this might be happening? Could it be related to having
SQL Server 2000 installed on my PC and it didn't remove completely?
