    I too have the exact same problem. I've got a case logged into MS support and I'll post back whenever they get around to returning my call.

    OK - I resolved the problem on two identicial clean machines, but we were not sure what exactly resolved the problem. First off, I have two, out-of-the-box Dell 9150s and both came with a Norton Internet Security installed with 'Personnal Firwewall' turned ON. I turned the firewall off and also installed the service packs listed below and I was able to install SQL Express without issue on both machines.

    I hope this helps.

    I was having the same problem with the install haning up at the IIS detection on my laptop.  I didn't have any problem installing it on my desktop.  Both machines are running XP Home.  The difference is the desktop has ZoneAlarms as a firewall, while the laptop is running the Norton firewall. 

    I couldn't install on the laptop either from the download or from a SQL Server Standard Edition CD.  They both stopped at the IIS detection.

     

    I turned off the Norton firewall, downloaded the install to my desktop, ran it from there and it installed very quickly.
