Windows Small Business Server 2003 Release Candidate Release Notes
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/sbs/docs/SBSRelNotes_STD.htm
Section just before the end:
=======================================
Remnants of Windows 2000 Administration Tools may block upgrade to
Windows Small Business Server 2003
When upgrading from Windows 2000 Server or Small Business Server 2000
with Service Pack 1, Setup may become blocked because of some entries
left in the registry from a previous Windows 2000 Administration Tools
installation. This can occur even if the Windows 2000 Administration
Tools were uninstalled prior to upgrade.
To unblock Setup
1.. Open the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{B
7298620-EAC6-11D1-8F87-0060082EA63E}
2.. Ensure that there is not a value displayed for Display Name. If
there is, it means that the Windows 2000 Administration Tools were not
successfully uninstalled and that you need to use Add/Remove Programs to
uninstall the tools again.
3.. When the Display Name value no longer exists, delete the following
registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{B
7298620-EAC6-11D1-8F87-0060082EA63E}).
