Please Assist! Installation Issue - Updated Info

I have updated this - I really need help! If you read this before, see the
bottom for additional info.
--
Due to configuration changes, I had to uninstall RS (which was running just
fine).
Now I cannot reinstall it.
I have a test server that is a domain controller.
It is running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise.
Running SQL Server 2000 Enterprise with SP3a and hotfix 859.
I have not been able to put it back on - its really strange - I get the
dialog box that says it successfully installed the SQL Server Reporting
Services Setup Support Files. When I click the Next button nothing happens.
If I reboot the machine and log back in as Administrator, I get the Error
Report dialog:
SQL Server Setup encountered an error and needed to close.
Of course, I choose "Send" to send the error report. In the event viewer, it
has this:
Faulting application SETUP.EXE, version 2000.80.743.0, faulting module
sqlspars.dll, version 2000.80.743.0, fault address 0x00059cf8.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

Now it occurred to me that it appears to be dying when it is supposed to go
to the "System Check" dialog.
I have tried to generate a setup log using /l*v setup.log to no avail - as
no log is ever generated.
Can anyone shed any light on this? I would be happy to allow a remote
desktop connection - just send me an email to
Chris.Conner@.REMOVETHISgisinfosystems.comRun the command line setup with the silent option.
I remember this from a previous post..

machine?
I have tried /qn, /qb, /qr with no avail.

I've tried the silent install and other recommendations (e.g., copying
the CD to a local directory), and I still can't get past the
installation of the support files. Does anyone have any other
suggestions that I might try?
Thanks,
-Melissasql
