Release A Install Problems

We have packaged MSDE 2000 release A with our applicaiton. A user ran the
install, but when MSDE goes to start it says, MSDE is either currport or has
been tampered with, please uninstall and reinstall MSDE, invalid package ID.
We go to unstill MSDE and it says MSDE is not installed... We tried
reinstalling, since it thought it wasn't installed and when the installer
starts, we get the same invaled package id error... Does anyone have any
ideas, or thoughts on what is happening or what I can do to fix this? Thanks,
Brian
Did you define a strong password for SA using the SAPWD parameter? MSDE SP3A
setup.exe will not install a new instance without it.
