Installation of VS 2005

I am tired of trying installation of vs 2005. I did it succesfully but because of some iis error had to reinstall the stuff. After unistalling it completely (but in a haphazard order) now i cannot install it again. It fails while installing msxml parser 6.0.

    You might have to clean up your registry. Try http://www.download.com/3000-2094-881470.html.

    Thank you draykula. I tried searching the registries but it was a nightmare seaching all the registries manually. What I could do was Install the msxml parser manually. The error was found in the log generated by providing the /l option on the command line interface. Some how after removing the dlls I can install the parser successfully. But the story didn't ended here. The vs set still gave the error in installing which surprisingly got rectified when I switched on the SQL Server service before the vs installation. This could be helpful to others.
