Cannot start SQL Trace (Profiler) on Windows 2000 Professional

Hello all!
I have installed SQL Server 7 Client components on a Windows 2000
Professional machine.
I can start the Query analyzer and I can use it to connect to servers.
However, when I try to start SQL trace, I am getting the following
error message
"sqltrace.exe, not a valid win32 application."
Have any of you come across this problem? Please suggest a solution.
If you need any more information, please let me know.
Thank you,
Martin.
The file could have been corrupted. Have you checked your disk to see if
there are any errors?
You may be able to fix it by reinstalling the client utilities, if that is
not a problem.

Cannot select "Server Database Engine" when installing SQL Server Sep 2005 CTP

I am trying to install SQL Server Sep 2005 CTP - ENTERPRISE, there are
check boxes on the Components to Install page of the Microsoft SQL Server Installation Wizard to select component groups for your SQL Server installation, they are all disabled, except "Workstation Components, Development Tools, and SQL Server Books Online".
I tried installing and after it finishes, there are no SQL instances.... What am I doing wrong? Please help. Thank you.

1. What is your operating systems. SQL Server 2005 Enterprise needs server operating systems such as W2K SP4, W2K3 EE SP1, LH Server.

2. What is the instance name you select? If you have already installed SQL Engine with instance name "SQLEngine" and now you restart setup with the same instance name "SQLEngine", then SQL Engine cannot be selected as it is already installed with under the specified instance name. You can only choose other components, which has not been installed under the specified instance name or other shared common components.

Note, "SQLEngine" is a fabricated instance name.
