I suggest you download SP1, then install locally.

I had the identical problem so I turned off my firewall, etc. and was then able to install SP1 successfully.

I'm getting exactly the same problem - have tried installing it several times but it always fails.

Have seen several other posts out there with the same problem but can't find anyone who knows the solution.

Anyone solved this yet?

Are you trying to update from Windows Update?
If so, download the SP manually (see link in my previous post in the
thread), then install locally. work for me on 5 PC's after failure via
Windows Update.

I too had repeated failures trying to use the Windows update
approach.  The suggested method of manually downloading and installing
worked for me as well.
VS2005_SP1_NukedMe - 13 Apr 2007 14:52 GMT
It failed for me as well, so I downloaded the kit, attempted the install and
it still failed.

VS2005 no longer compiles projects that worked before, so I attempted to
reinstall the kit, assuming that something was munged.  That fails.

All I get now is:

[04/13/07,08:35:57] Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0: [2] Setup Failed on
component Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0
[04/13/07,08:41:59] Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition - ENU:
[2] ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND/ERROR_INSTALL_PACKAGE_OPEN_FAILED returned in
CRootComponent::Install for: C:\WINDOWS\Installer\3cf1f52.msi

I cannot uininstall 2005, reinstall 2005 or update a component.

Damn.
