What else do you have installed on the Windows 2003 server?

Just out of curiousity...
Have you installed O2003 before and this is a reinstall?
I ran into that problem. My W2003 server crashed, needed
reinstallation/repair and then when I had to install
O2003, it refused. I had to deinstall and kill all the
files manually (since it was trashed during the reinstall).

Just a thought.
