instance is invalid

Error message during install:
Instance is invalid.
Just installed SP3a sql2kdesksp3.exe
Hi,
I think there is a instance conflicts. THis occurs if an instance of SQL
Server is already
installed on the target machine. To overcome this issue, you have to specify
the Instance name while running the setup.
Setup.exe INSTANCENAME=<name> SAPWD=<sapassword > /l*v c:\log.txt
Create a verbose log usinfg /l*v so that you can determine if installation
was successful or not.
Thanks
Hari
