Installation issues

G'day,

I've been having trouble installing SQL Server Express on my XP Pro laptop. I have uninstalled and reinstalled .NET Framework 2.0 and successfully installed VB 2005 Express without error and I am a local Admin. The destination folder is not compressed or encrypted so it is a real mystery to me.

Below is the log file generated during the install attempt. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

Hi Mike,

thanks for that. Unfortunately none of the fixes worked. Any other ideas?

Cheers.

No other ideas here. I'm moving this to the setup forum.
