Kind regards,

I got the same error. The things I tried were uninstalling Crystal Reports 10 (since I thought that the webformviewer in the error might be related to Crystal) and manually removing every registry key containing "Microsoft Visual Studio 8". Not sure which one did the trick, but I was able to install after that. Hope this helps!

Also occurs to me that I cleared the prefetch cache. Probably not relevant,
but I thought I'd mention it just in case.

Thanks for your answer. Had be thinking that Crystal could be the problem but
i never didn't uninstall it. I will give this a try.
