Cannot install SQL Server 2005 Express on Virtual PC 7.0

Hi, I received the following error message when I attempted to install SQL Server 2005 Express on Virtual PC 7.0.2 as a component of VWD 2005 as well as standalone application:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup was unable to install on your computer.
In the 'Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup', I received the following information:
EventType : sql90setup P1 : do_sqlscript P2: 0x733f
P3 : sqls__service__start P4 : 0x42b P5 : sqlsetuplib_service.cpp@.301
P6 : sqlca.dll@.2005.90.1399.0 P7 : sqlrun_sql.msi@.9/00.1399.06
Lastly, it said that it would send the following file as part of the report:
c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\SqlSetup0007.cab
The host machine for Virtual PC 7.0.2 is Mac OS X 10.4.6. If you have any ideas as to how to resolve this issue, it would be GREATLY appreciated.
Peace,

I'm not sure what our supprt level is for VPC, I'm going to move this to the SQL Setup forum.

As discussed in the above post, the issue is that VPC for Mac emulates a Pentium II and SQL Server 2005 requires a Pentium III. The cache prefetching instructions seem to be the real problem. At this stage the only possible way of running SQL Server 2005 on Mac hardware is to buy one of the new Intel based Macs and create a Dual boot for Windows XP on it, either that or pray to whatever diety you believe in that Microsoft will eventually bring out a version ov VPC for Mac that will emulate a Pentium III.
Cheers.
