Cannot install SQL Server 2005 Express

Whole installation works fine until it comes to "Selected components are being configured" and there it shows:

MSXML6 - Setup FAILED. refer to the Setup log for details.

SQL Setup support files - Setup FINISHED.

SQL Native Client - Setup FINISHED.

SQL VSS Writter - - Setup FINISHED.

SQL Server Database Services - Setup FAILED. refer to the Setup log for details

And that's it. I cannot install SQL Server 2005 express.

I guess the problem is MSXML6 it cannot install because there is a newer version already there but I cannot uninstall it. How can I solve this problem ?

Thanks.

Try installing the Express Advanced it has most features except the Agent. Hope this helps.
