It sounds like your install is being consistently corrupted at the same point each time.
It could just be old files hanging around from an earlier version or it could be something running in the background.
So go over the comp an zap anything that has to do with IM, use a regcleaner as well, if necessary, and make sure there's nothing hanging around in a temp file.
Down load a new file and then shut down everything that's not essential before you try the install again.
I don't know if you've got the last of the updates for 2000 but you need to check that out as well, especially if there were any updates to the windows installer for 2000.
