It might be that it can't find various components of gnomon.  w2k3 
treats the old wise installer in a very strange manner, putting various 
files in the wrong place.

I've stuck the current MSI version here:

http://gnomon.npsl.co.uk/gnomon/site/dist/setupGnomon.msi

That has been fully tested on w2k3 (which is what we use for live 
servers these days).

Can you try that (after uninstalling the old one) and if you still have 
the same problem then let me know and we'll see what can be figured out.

Thanks,
