MSDE needs to be installed for BackupEXec

I have a windows 2003 ent server that we cannot install MSDE on.
If we run this from terminal services and a command line, we get nothing:
Setup.exe INSTANCENAME=BKUPEXEC BLANKSAPWD=1 /L*v C:\MSDE.log
Not even a log file.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I do not think MSDE setup is a viable solution via terminal session.. have
you tried locally connected to the server?
(FWIW, is BLANKSAPWD=1 mandatory? ... and you'll get an instance without
networkprotocols support..)

|||Andrea is correct. The setup program for MSDE (and SQL Server for that
matter) needs to be done on the physical console of the machine it is being
installed on.

Is there a way to complete remove MSDE?
It will not install.

please have a look at
http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;Q290991 ...
this will not clear the Windows Installer related entries in the Windows
registry, that requires MSIZap.exe from the Platform SDK as reported in
