I'm trying to load a new msde instance in sbs 2003. I run the install
command from the comand line and the install starts. Just before it should
be finished it rolls back and does not install. No error message is given.
I've tried the bug fix in KB 299351, but that did not work.

Any ideas?

I know this isn't an answer to your problem (sorry), but MSDE is getting
rather long in the tooth so have you considered migrating to its successor
SQL Server 2005 Express?
