visual studio .net setup: During Visual Studio 2005 Setup... I'm getting "the following component
failed to install -- Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Beta", I'm running Win XP
Pro SP2.

I've tried all the typical stuff, log on as Admin of local machine, no other
programs or services running, cleared Temp directory etc.

vserror80 log:

You may have better luck if you also post your situation in the groups
dedicated to Visual Studio 2005 and .NET Framework v2 (beta) here.

http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=whidbey&amp;slcid=us

Under Other Components, there is a group for "Setup NET Framework".
