Another Sql 2005 Express Installation Problem

I am receiving the following message when trying to install Sql Server 2005 Express:  "An installation package for the product Microsoft Sql Server Native Client cannot be found. Try the installation again using a valid copy of the installation package 'sqlncli.msi'. I have verified that the sqlncli.mis file is included in the file being extracted by the installer and I have redownloaded the installation program 3 times from the MSDN site in case the file was corrupt.

Any ideas

    I was able to solve my own problem by copying the 'sqlncli.msi' file to another folder during the failed installation. 

    Then after the failed installation I ran the sqlncli.msi by itself and it installed the Sql Native Client on its own just fine. 

    Then I ran the installation again and it made it past this point fine and completed the rest of the installation successfully.

    This was on a Win2000 Professional machine.  I am leaving this post here just in case anyone else runs across this.
