A similar problem happened on my Win98SE computer when I installed version 8.1.6.0.0. When the system restarted I ran Symantec WinDoctor and it found 74 problems with the system. These ranged from erroneous ActiveX entries to Shared Files missing. Once all of the problems were corrected I ran the Configuration Assistant again and it created the new Database Instance without any problems.
