Error 1603 on Installation

The SQL Server installation has no default instance. It has an instance
called Reports. On installing RS it allowed selecting an instance so I
thought that everything was fine. When it came to configuring SQL Server
portion of the RS install I got an error 1603. This is Windows 2003 Server
and SQL Server 2000 Standard version 8.00.859
Any ideas of what to do?
Bruce L-CNevermind. I unistalled everything, cleaned up the registry and left over
files. Went into windows 2003 application server configuration and made sure
had everything. Reinstalled SQL Server default install and this time it
worked. Now everything went smoothly with RS installation. I think it didn't
like have no default installation for SQL Server.
