I have the same problem as well on my brother's Vista x64 SP1. My PC with XP is out of commission due to needing a new monitor, but anyway, Visual 2008 installed no problem on XP Home SP3. Don't know what to tell you, hope someone here knows the solution.

I've determined the cause of this problem though. .net framework 3.5 SP1 will not install correctly. The install crashes while trying to install it. I have tried a number of things to get a fix. I've tried installing .net framework 3.5 beforehand and theres no luck with that. I mean, it 3.5 installs, but when I try to install 3.5 SP1, it still crashes. I've tried installing 3.5 SP1 separately, and no luck with that as well. Crashes just the same.

Anyone think they've got a fix for this issue?
