WSUS Install Failed

I am trying to install WSUS on Windows 2000 server.  I installed database MSDE 2000 release A, then I installed SQL Server 2000 (32-bit) security patch.  The install was a success.

I checked to make sure the services are running before installing WSUS.

When I try to install WSUS I receive an error A DATABASE SERVER COULD NOT BE DETECTED.

I rebooted before I tried installing WSUS as well.

Any Ideas
