I think I may have answered my own question:
- I found out that if I logged in as the local Admin and performed the
installation, the MSVS 2005 installs properly. This was done on a Windows XP
Professional PC. Now I will need to experiment on the Windows 2000 OS to
verify this is truely the case.

I guess I was wrong - I logged into Windows 2000 as Administrator and the
installation still failed.
The logged displayed the following:
MDAC 2.8 SP1: Error code -2147024891 for this component means "Access is
denied." ...
2] DepCheck indicates Microsoft Data Access Components 2.8 SP1 is not
installed.
....
I investigated on whether MDAC 2.8 SP1 was installed on my PC by using MDAC
Utility: Component Checker. It's not apparent one way or the other. It
looks like I might want to install the MS SQL Server 2005 Dev Edition. This
may provide me with the required files.
Wish me luck!
