Installion problem with SQL Express April CTP

When intalling SQL Server 2005 Express this gives me the message:
SQL Server Setup could not connect to the database service forserver configuration. The error was: {Microsoft}{ODBC Driver Manager}Data source name not found and no default driver specified Refer toserver error logs and setup logs for more information. For details onhow to view setup logs, see "How to View Setup Log Files" in SQL ServerBooks Online. Error No:29545
which I don't get since I have SQL Server 2000 Dev Edtion running,Win 2K sp4. I couldn't find anything in the MS KB to explain why it'sdoing so.. anything I missed perhaps?

Well, what does the setup log file have to say about the failure?
