MSDE 2000A Install error on Windows ME and 98

sql server msde: When running the setup.exe on Windows 98 and Windows ME, the MSDE installer
tries to run C:\Program Files\My Application\DB\Temp\instmsi.exe. Then the
installation fails.

However the installer works fine for Windows 2000 and XP.

The path C:\Program Files\My Application\DB\Temp, is where I put the MSDE
install files from my install zip.

Besides the unusual install location, I am working with the downloaded
MSDE2000A installation downloaded from the Microsoft website.

Any clues here on what is wrong?

Hi Brian,

The main problem we've seen on Win98 series is having the Windows Family
Logon enabled. Any chance it's enabled?

HTH,
