Author Second install of MSDE with WSUS

I already have WSUS running on a win2003 SP1 machine. I am trying to install
a second instance which will be used for WebSenseReporting, however, about
have way into the initial setup the progress bar will backtrack and install
will fail.

Any ideas, thanks.

please add the
/L*v "c:\MsdeLog.txt"
parameter to your call to the setup.exe boostrap installer in order to
enable verbose logging of the installation process..
this will result in a text file you can inspect for
RETURN VALUE 3
entries, indicating problem(s)... about 10/15/ lines before each entry some
(sometime cryptic) description of the problem will be reported..

Well,
I downloaded the latest version and did receive a message stating that a
password needed to be set. This was the whole problem, I basically just
needed to set the SA password, the install wouldn't continue otherwise.
Problem solved, thanks.
