Can't install any Visual Studio Express program

I've tried downloading the programs from the website (VWD, VC# etc.) but the installer always stops at this point:

Anyone have a reason why
Thanks.

    The web installer is a small 2mg file that then launches an application that connects to the full version on MS Servers. It then transfers he data from the servers to a temp directory on your machine and installs from there... when complete it deletes the temp directory. Personally I would use the ISO Install (Manual Method) and download the ISO and make a CD From it, with this you can then install it on many machines with out having to re download it each time.

    I'm using the web installer. Does it matter that I'm downloading it first, then running it (I use Firefox)

    The first steps will be to make sure that you have an updated windows Operating system, complete a windows update just to make sure. Then I would check to make sure that you have all of the min req for the software.

    One done you can help the setup by installing some of the software first, for example install the latest version on the .Net framework 2.0 first before the install. I have also seen on some machines that you can speed up the express ide installes by installing SQL Express 2005 onto the machine first. When you do this the IDE install will not nstall another copy it will use the copy that is already installed. Also are you trying the instal from the manual ISO Versions or using the web installer
