I believe you're dealing with the leftovers of the first, botched,
installation.
I know you don't want to hear it, but here's what I'd do in your situation
(FWIW, I have VS 2005 installed and working fine with a wide variety of
project types on two Vista Ultimate machines here).
Completely remove VS 2005 and all the supporting products that were
installed. By completely, I mean first use the automatic uninstallers in the
recommended sequence, then manually delete leftover files and folders from
the installation location(s), THEN use regedit to find and remove all
registry entries for Visual Studio and the .NET Framework. If you do this,
your next install (of the necessary pieces in the correct order) will be a
truly new install.
If that process fails, the distasteful last resort is wipe the drive,
reinstall Vista clean, then install VS 2005.
