Installation problems for Platform SDK into VC++ Express

Your Tool element is not properly formed. It's missing a closing bracket, causing the XML to be malformed. After AdditionalDependencies="kernel32.lib ... uuid.lib", add a closing tag />

This is just my guess. Did you uninstall the previous beta version
I myself have never had such a problem but one of my friends has.
He did not uninstall the previous one.
Hope this helps.

I havent had any prevous beta versions. I have installed, VC#, VB, VJ#, V web devoloper. Could that be effecting the installation
