I am running Vista Ultimate, with VS 2005 SP1 installed. I am trying to
install the Orcas Beta 1 release and get the following error:

[04/24/07,08:55:43] Microsoft .NET Framework v3.5: [2] Error code 87 for
this component means "The parameter is incorrect."

Should I just installing .NET FX 3.5 manually and try the installation again?

I'm seeing exactly the same error... does anyone have a fix for this? I don't see any way to manually load the 3.5 framework

Yea, I tried installing the 3.5 framework manually and got another error
along the same lines and another one concerning the .NET Framework 2.0 SP1
(which I am assuming is supposed to be the Compact Framework since 2.0 SP1
isn't out yet).

You nailed it..I changed my install directory from 'Visual Studio 9' to 'VS9'
and all installed...Thanks!

Does your INSTALL FROM path have a space in it? Mine did and once removed,
the install worked. There is a known issue supposedly (to who I don't know)
on Vista that the Framework 2.0 SP1 or 3.0 SP1 may fail to install if the
path contains a space.

I had exactly the same problem.

I also had a space in my path (where the installation image source files
were located). I moved the installation image files to
c:\OrcasInstallation\InstallationImage (with no spaces in the path), and it
worked.

Did you, by any chance, have an Orcas CTP installed? If so, did you do a
complete uninstall of the CTP and all associated components before trying to
install Beta 1?

Nope, I didn't have any CTP or BETA components installed for any version of
VS or Framework.
