I've downloaded the msde setup file and everytime I run it, it crashes, no error it just stops installing and no files are copied to my system.

I've tryed downloading it again and the same thing occurs. I've disabled everything from startup on my system and it still occurs with nothing running in the background. I run windows xp on a brand new Dell INSPIRON 1100 laptop and everything else installs fine. Microsoft won't help me at all as they say even though I downloaded it from their website it was free so is regarded as OEM and part of the operating system !! Do you beleive that? Spoke to Dell there isn't much else they can try with me.

If anyone has any ideas they would be greatly appreciated.
