Visual Studio 2008 Instakk Fails???????

[gate7cy]

I get the same problem while trying to instal the Visual Studio proffesional
editon ( trial 90 days ) like most people do.It fails always on the same
point:
"Web authoring component"
This problem has many discussions on forums on the web. Many solutions
suggested that work for some but most people still are with the same problem.
I tried various intallations including the expess editions ( one by one )
the iso image ( using daemon and burn on disc ). I carried out tens of
propable solutions and nothing. Always the same at the same time. It is
getting very frustrating. How microsoft provides something as a final product
and it has some many bugs?????????Anybody knows of a solution please some
help would be greatly appreciated. By the way below I include my laptop specs
and the error log created. Thanks

Any chance you had any betas , CTP's or RC's installed previously?
If so, the following article by Steven Cheng may be helpful:

From your description, you're encountering some error when setup the VS
2008 TS on a win2k3 R2 box, correct?

Based on my research, currently, most VS 2008 install issue are caused by
previously installed beta(or CTP) version(or related components).
Therefore, have you also installed beta version of VS 2008 or .net
framework 3.5 on that server machine? Also, if possible, I recommend you
clean up all the previously installed VS 2008 related components(such as
..NET 3.5, windows SDK 6.0....) and install the VS 2008 again.

In addition, you can also post in the MSDN VS setup forum since there are
