Installation of Project 2003 Server failing on Win2003

I have a Windows 2003 server with SQLServer 2000 (SP4) installed. When I try
to install Project Server, it gets all the way to about the end and then
fails and rolls back the installation. The last thing I believe it does
before failing is registering modules (right after updating the system
registery). It's hard to tell since the mesages fly by too fastand then the
rollback occurs. I have verbose logging turned on but it doesn't appear to be
much help.

These are the last lines in the log file:

Property(C): ProgressActionText = Now Installing Project Server
Property(C): ValidChars = 1
Property(C): INTRANETURL = http://<MyserverName>/ProjectServer
Property(C): PRJSVRADMINPWD = **********
Property(C): IllegalChars = `~@#$%^&*()=+\[]{};'"<>?

Has anyone encountered this problem and how did you solve it?? I did find
another KB article for a SQLServer install with the same exact errors ("Note:
1: 1708", "Grabbed execution mutex", etc) and that indicated that the "temp"
variable could not contain spaces. I've altered mine as well so that "%temp%"
points to "C:\Temp" but that didn't solve the problem.

Help!
