MSDE Problem

I've been having hassles with MSDE 2000a. When attempting to install our
Product, when our DLL's are supposed to be registered, Windows Installer
dialogs ("Preparing to install..")are popped up for every DLL. When we check
the Application log, we see the following error message :
Detection of product '{E09B48B5-E141-427A-AB0C-D3605127224A}', feature
'SqlRun' failed during request for component
'{436D7A23-36BE-11D2-ACBB-0080C7FCBB84}'
I have a feeling that MSDE doesn't correctly reference the SqlRun feature -
because if I change the GUID under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Feat ures\*GUID*
that contains the SqlRun key, to E09B48B5E141427AAB0CD3605127224A - then it
seems to work fine.
What the %$#^%$# is going on here?!?
Is this an MSDE problem? Am I simply installing MSDE incorrectly?
