Failed to configure server install error

I've been looking into this all day and haven't gotten anywhere. I'm using
InstallShield to install a .Net application, the application uses MSDE as
its database. I've added InstallShield's MSDE object to the install, works
fine sometimes but most of the time I get the following error message when
the MSDE is almost installed.
"Setup failed to configure the server. Refer to the server error logs and
setup errors for more information."
I've scoured the internet looking into this error and nothing seems to
correct this issue. I've remove all files, registry keys and anything
related to MSDE and I still get the same error. I've generated an install
log (attached in an email to follow as "MSDELog.log").
Thanks in advance,
Dave

Hi ,
net helpmsg 1460: This operation returned because the timeout period
expired.
This may occur due the following reasons:
1) You are using terminal services /RDP to install msde which opens a
different session and is NOT the same as being on the console.
Try to logon on locally to the machine and then run the installation with
the following command line
setup /L*v c:\msde.log disablerollback=1 disablenetworkprotocols=0
sapwd="some password"

|||This is absolutely the solution.
I just solved the SAME problem described in the first message in this
way.
To Microsoft: please WRITE somewhere that you CAN NOT install SQL or
MSDE on Windows XP from Remote Desktop!!
