Can't install Sql Server Express

Hello -
I "installed" KB884016-V2-x86.exe. I have "installed" in quotes, because it
ran though almost too quickly, informing me it installed successfully.
I then tried installing .Net Framework Version 2 Redistributable Package x86
(dotnetfx.exe). Its strange interface had only the options of uninstalling
or repairing. After running for a little bit, it dies, displaying the ol'
"Microsoft encountered a problem and has to close. Send report to Microsoft
"
. . .
I am running Windows 2000 Professional (sp4). Does anyone have any idea
what may be causing this?

so you need to uninstall the current version before you install the new one.
