     Well, having already managed to toast an XP system so that SQL
Server could not be reinstalled, that is certainly credible.

     I wish I knew what it was that I did.

     I am trying YA installation with YA version of SSE2008 -- there
are too many of them -- and maybe, it will work.  If not, I suppose I
will nuke it tomorrow.

Sincerely,
