Change logfile location durring setup SQL 2000

Is there a possibility to change the default instalation directory for
the logfiles for sql server 2000? I would like the default database
files to be placed on teh d: drive and the logfiles on the e: drive?

Setup doesn't have a separate path for the log files, however in
Enterprise Manager you can go into the Server Properties, and on the
Database Settings tab you can select a default location for new
database files. These values are saved in registry keys, so if you
need to do it programmatically, you can edit the registry directly:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\ MSSQLServer\DefaultData
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\ MSSQLServer\DefaultLog
