MSDE 2000 for Access 2002

I am trying to install MSDE2000 from the Access 2002 installation disk.

An initial message comes up after the configuring message that says "The
instance name specified is invalid". I tried copying the MSDE2000 folder
onto the C drive, and the same message appears.

Any ideas as to the nature of the problem and what I should do would be
appreciated

Thanks

Copy the MSDE folder to your computer and add a text file named Setup.ini to
the same location as the setup.exe file.

Put this in it (changing the instancename to what you want:

[Options]
SECURITYMODE=MIXED
INSTANCENAME="MSDETEST"
SAPWD="12345"

If you want Windows Authentication only then just use:

[Options]
INSTANCENAME="MSDETEST"


Or alternatively you can run the setup from a command line and specifying
the instancename switch.
