Can't get MSDE installed

I just can't get MSDE installed on my machine. It hangs midway through
the process. If I kill setupre.exe the setup continues but just before
it's done there's an error "Setup failed to configure the server", and
it rolls back. I've stopped the services and processes and read the
readme very carefully. I've removed the previous version and removed
the registry entries and tried to do a clean install. Nothing I'm
finding on Google is helping. I have xp sp2 and the current mdac.
Suggestions? The log files are below.

A repair install of MDAC finally did it.
