I still hope some kind soul will do the build or I'll simply have to drop Windows from the supported OS' and be done with it.
That's not a pre-req message, its some sort of lockup, probably caused by locked files or registry values.

You have to run setup.exe, not vs-setup.msi. Did it get as far as asking for the license key.

Also what's the provenance of your Windows install and the VS2008 media. If they ain't kosher or Windows hasn't been validated then that could be the problem.

I recall I had something like that happen to me when I installed Expression Studio. It was on an unactivated Windows 7 behind an air firewall, I had to validate over the phone :lol:
