MSDE setup errors

I am trying install MSDE on XPSP2 pro. It fails the following set of erros
in the setup log. These lines are from a non-verbose log I created while
running the setup.
Appreciate any help.
Thanks

I got some info on the possible causes of failure as below. Unfortunately
neither of them help.
If your machine name has lowercase characters then you may be hitting this
issue - http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;Q285100
If you had a old instance of MSDE on the machine you may be hitting this
