Runtime error while installing SQL 2005 Standard Edition

Dear All,
I have an instance of SQL 2000 and while Installing another instance of SQL
Server2005 Standard Edition on Windows 2003 with SP1 on Dell Server, I am
getting error
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program: C:\WINDOWS\system32\MsiExec.exe
The application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an
unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
All the hardware and software requirements are already there.
Any suggestions!
TIA
KayHi Kay
A couple of this to check
Make sure that you are up-to-date with windows update. Your hardware drivers
are the latest (especially video!). Also check out the SQL Server
installation log files http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143702.aspx

Running SQL Server 2005 Dev Ed. and Express Ed. side by side.

I recieved the same error running both the SQL Svr Express SP1 and the SQL Svr SP1 updates. I resolved the problem with SQL Svr Express by installing the SQL Svr Express with Advanced Serives pakage. The SQL Svr SP1 still errors out with this message: Unexpected error ocurred: The following unexpected error ocurred <blank message> with an ok button. The following is the contents of the installtion log file:

Moving to Setup so they can troubleshoot the issue w/ SQL SP1 patch.
