Error 14113 while trying to setup replication on SQL Server 2000 S

Hi,
I'm trying to run the wizard to setup replication on a SQL Server 2000 SP3.
Entering the parameters goes without a problem but when executing the script
I'm getting an error 14113:
SQL Server Enterprise MAnager could not configure 'XYZ' as the distributor
for 'XYZ'.
Error 14113: Could not execute c:\... \instdist.sql
I have all the necessary rights on the DB server and on Win 2003.
I also noticed that XP_CMDSHELL doesn't work on this server (probably needed
to execute the previous line) so I executed the instdist.sql manually in
query analyzer.
This clearly isn't enough to get replication working.
The problem with XP_CMDSHELL:
Msg 50001, Level 1, State 50001
xpsql.cpp: Error 1260 from CreateProcess on line 675
I already dropped XP_CMDSHELL:
exec sp_dropextendedproc 'xp_cmdshell'
then replaced the dll with one from another server (just in case) and
re-installed it:
exec sp_addextendedproc 'xp_cmdshell', 'xplog70.dll'
all with the same result.
IMHO both problems are related. Any suggestions?
Tanks in advance,
Gaston.
Can you try to run command shell from within query analyzer? Can you create
subfolders within your snapshot location?

doesn't work.

And it seems that the OSQL command wouldn't even be executed, so the
distribution server can't be setup.
I can create subfolders on the snapshot location, np.
Thanks already,
Gaston.

Can you reapply SP3, or better yet SP4 and try again?

The xp_cmdshell works after we applied SP4. So now we're on to the
replication problem. I suppose that this will work now as well!
Thanks for your efforts so far!
