Problem Installing SQL Mobile 2005 Tools

I'm trying to install the SQL Mobile 2005 Server tools on a Windows 2003
Server with IIS & MSSQL 2000 sp4.

I've stuck .NET 2.0 on already, but the installer for the server tools
Sqlce30setupen.msi just goes straight to the last page of the wizard and says
the install was interrupted.

I've run the install with logging turned on and this is the last portion of
the trace. Can anyone shed any light on whats going wrong.

Are you able to repro on any other machine? From log it appears to me that, MDAC, IIS, and SQL 2K are all detected and their properties are changed appropriately. Is that WIN2K3 is upto SP1? If it is so, then only one thing left is .NET FX 2.0. Did you install .NET FX 2.0 after running the MSI and realizing that you need .NET FX 2.0 inorder to proceed?

Try out on a fresh clean PC and let us know how things go there?

From your posting http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=202038&SiteID=1, I understand that you were finally able to install the tools. By the way, what was the problem you faced and how did you resolve it?
