Microsoft SQL Express 2005 Installation Failure

I can get SQL SERVER 2005 to install it goes through the extracting files then gives me an error message that says "SQL Server Setup unexpectedly failed. for more information, review the setup summery log file " . I don't think i have any beta versons of Visual Studio or SQL I do have Accouting Express with has something with SQL I don't know if that will stop my installation. I really need SQL to work for my business.

Can you search through your SQL install log directory for the text string "value 3" and post the 10 or so lines above that? It may give a more descriptive error message.
