MSDE refuses to install on Server 2003

Hi,
I'm trying to install some apps onto one of my server 2003 boxes, on one
server it all goes fine, on the other however the msde installations all
give up and rollback I just get errors in the event logs that state that the
installation failed. Any ideas? It won't even let me install the vanilla
MSDE 2000 rel A on with the default options.
The only installed version of sql/msde appears to be the default Active
Directory stuff. Help!
