Cannot install SEC 5.2

I am trying to install SEC 5.2 on our server. The server crashed last week and after a rebuild I can't get Sophos installed. It gets as far as trying to install the databases and fails "A custom action failed"...not very helpful! SQL server express 2008 installs but the failure appears to be when it tries to create the actual SOPHOS databases. We are running Windows 2003 SP2. Can anyone give me any ideas where to look?

  • got past the database install (turns out the path thing was right, but now it fails when trying ot install Update Manager, it returns an error "the MSI failed". The server event viewer gives the folowing error:
