After running SBS Server 2000 without SQL 2000, an attempt to install
SQL Server 2000 results in this error:

Microsft Small Business Server 2000 Setup Wizard
Component Messages
Review the component message and errors below before
proceeding.
Click a component in the tree view. All errors for that
component will be displayed
Component.
- Small Business Server
-Administration
-X Active Directory Configuration
The application failed to install properly


I selected to install all components of SQL Server in the installation
setup wizard initiated from within Control Panel. Did not use the
default C:\Program Files...installation directory, instead chose
F:\Program Files for everything. Had rebooted server prior to
installation & disabled Antivirus also.

Have SQL Server listed on Start>Programs, etc

Any ideas? Thank you!
