Mel,
I have exactly the same problem with a Windows 2000 Server with SP2. Any
info you find out would be greatly appreciated. I think that the online
support for this issue is really sad.
Thank you in advance,
Greg Booty

More info.
Upon reloading BENT I got to the account name setup, created a new account,
and proceded to install the services.
It came back with a Job Engine failed to start due to a parameter being
incorrect.
This is a reinstall that I just tried.
