MSDE Installation via Terminal Services

I'm seeing some conflicting information and wanted to try to get it
clarified. The original release of MSDE 2000 couldn't be installed from a
Terminal Services session on a TS in Application Mode. The release notes
for MSDE 2000 Release A (which contains SP3A) still mention that there could
be problems installing via Terminal Services. But KB artcle 317268 says
that you can install SP2 via Terminal Services.
So the obvious question is, can I install MSDE 2000 Release A from a W2K3
Terminal Services session while in Application Mode?

nope, AFAIK, but never tested sp4.. I "consolidated" the original
"impossibility" :D
