Remote tools install error

I am trying to install SQL server 2000 client tools on to a Win 2000 server.
I get an install error
' installation of MS data access components failed (-).
My server is service pack 3. I understand that that Win 2 K service pack 3
installs MDAC 2.5 SP3.
My MDAC version is 2.53.6200.1
Has anyone seen this error before and is there a fix for getting the client
tools install to work?
Thanks.
JTThanks for your replies. My struggle continues.
I was able to run sqlsetup in debug mode and installed all other client tool
components other than mdac.
I ran mdac component checker to confirm that I am running mdac version 2.5
SP3 - no conflicts seen with the component checker.
I tried to install mdac 6 from the SQL server disk, but the install appeared
to do nothing.
I downloaded mdac 2.6 SP1 and tried to install it but it failed.
I tried to uninstall the sql tools install but it fails with msg ' internal
error - unable to load or call an external .dll
I have tried to reinstall the tools through the setup maintenance mode. It
appears to install a few files and then finishes, but I can't get in to
Enterprise Mgr or any of the other tools.
I deleted the ExceptionComponents reg key, and attempted to reinstall, but I
am getting nowhere with that.
I am trying to install this on a W2K server w/ terminal services running. I
stopped the terminal services service and tried again to install, but I am
not making any progress with that either.
So how does one uninstall these client tools and start over?
Thanks.
