Go to this page:

Download the appropriate file(s).

I downloaded the middle file and tested the instructions below.
Executing the file will unpack the installation files to the directory specified.

To install the program the HAVE TO USE COMMAND LINE SWITCHES.

I found these instructions on an easier method to configure the instalaltion settings.

******************************************
Create 2 file in the same director with setup.exe

1. Setup.bat
setup.exe /settings Settings.ini /L*v C:/MSDELog.log

2. Settings.ini
[Options]
SAPWD=YourPassword
DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0
SECURITYMODE=SQL
DATADIR="C:\MSDE"
TARGETDIR="C:\MSDE"

Run the setup.bat
******************************************

Edit the files to match your desired installation configuration.

There is also a "Mcrosoft SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 4" download

My install got stuck at
"Executing "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\sqlredis.exe /q:a""

Status showed 5 seconds remaining. (I may not have the necessary pre-requisites installed)

Don't forget to read the readme files in the extracted folder.
