Hello all,

I'm trying to install XP embedded SP 1 on my machine, and it keeps dying on
me, refusing to install MSDE. It says to refer to error logs, that I can't
find anywhere, and after trying every upgrade I can think of (even upgrading
to SP 2) it still refuses to install.

Help? Thanks in advance.

Rob,

As it says properly during the installation, take a look at the Event Viewer logs to see why you cannot install MSDE on your
machine.
 
I've checked the event logs, and the only information in them is that it
failed to configure the server. Why would that be?

Robert,

It is usually logged in the Application or System log if an installation failed. Did you check all the Event Viewer logs?
Can you post the logs here?

After all, you can monitor the installation with tools like Filemon and Regmon (www.sysinternals.com) to see what resources are
missing on your dev machine.
