Can some one tell me how in the heck I can install MSDE on my Windows 2003 Ent Server.  I have tried everything and can't get it to run.  I have used SAPWD=(@@@@@@@@@) a strong password.  Of course that is not the password I used.

Unable to install MSDE

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
