I get an error that the .net framework 2.0 failed to install. This is
already installed on vista. It should skip this. How do I work around
this?

To get VS 2005 Final to install on 5231, I had to do this:

1) Run the MSXML6 install from the WCU directory
2) Copy the DVD to a hard drive, edit BASELINE.DAT in the setup directory,
in the [gencomp6] section set BlockorWarn=0. This will defeat the pointless
check for SP2

Install.

I'm still having troubles with Pocket PC programming, as Vista won't install
ActiveSync, and VS 2005 requires it.
