I tried to install VS 2008 Prof Beta 2 on Windows XP and got the same error.
Using the file from Alan's link didn't help either. Any other suggestions?
The component, which failed to install, seems to be Microsoft .NET Framework
3.5

I was having the exact same problem on XP also so I tried to install the 3.5
.NET framework seperately. It gave me an error but led me here

Performing the following steps fixed my issue and fixed the install:
2.1.4 Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 installation will fail on Microsoft
Windows XP or Microsoft Windows Server 2003 if IIS is installed and the IIS
Admin Service is disabled
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 installation will fail on Microsoft Windows XP
or Microsoft Windows Server 2003 if IIS is installed and the IIS Admin
Service is disabled.
To resolve this issue:
1. Go to the Start menu and select Run
2. Type cmd and press ENTER
3. Type "sc config iisadmin start= auto" and press ENTER.
or
