HELP!!! Studio .net and IIS install problems!

[Guest]

I hate to cross post into to groups, but, I'm losing my mind here, please
forgive me.

Two programs, both Miscrosoft, both same issue?

I'm running XP professional SP2.

IIS: I install IIS as required, going to Control Panels, Add/Remove Progras,
etc. The message box SAYS install completed correctly, then says click next.
The window closes and a window that says "Windows XP Setup: Please wait..."
comes up. And it NEVER goes beyond this point. That window just hangs there
forever (3 hours now). I've tried renooting and trying again, and this is now
the 4th try with the same result.

Visual STudio .Net: To install, you must first install items from the VS
..net Prerequisites CD. The wizard SAYS they install fine and shows a check
mark next to each that installs. Yet, when I go back to regular install, it
says VS .Net cannot be installed until the prerequisites are installed. I
tried installing each component individually from the preq. cd, but, when you
try that it says a previous version of that installer is already running.
Even after reboot.

Does ANYONE have any ideas?

Before you fame this post like that idiot in the other thread did, understand
this:

Its XP that hangs, NOT the installer.

Also, if he comes to read this post too, IIS is a component of XP
Professional, not some separate entity. So it's STILL XP thats hanging on
load.
