    Could you try running the cleanup tool at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/ linkid=47065  and then try to reinstall

    Thanks!

    I managed to find a cleanup utility from MS that worked.

    i think it may have been that tool that ended up working. if it's the visual studio 2005 cleanup tool, then that's the one. i'd run it to check, but i don't want to clean up my install again... it's useable now.

    thanks for the suggestion
