Problem with installing Visual Basic Express Dist.

Hello Geeks,

I downlaoded an ISO image of Visual Basic Express and tried installing it on my PC. The Windows Istaller and Dot Net Framework succeeded, but Visual Basic failed to install. I tried to install from a CD and from the harddrive, and I tried on three different machines, all running XP Pro with SP2, but always failed.

Error Signature:

EventType : visualstudio8setup P1 : 10859 P2 : 8.0.50727.42_rtm_x86_ixp
P3 : msi P4 : inst P5 : f P6 : - P7 : - P8 : 1603 P9 : -
P10 : -
