VS .Net 2008 Installation

Hi,
When I am trying to install VS .Net 2008 I am geting an error message
saying "A problem has been encountered while loading the setup
components. Canceling setup". I have gone through the readme document
provided by microsoft and I tried with its some of tips given, but
still I am facing same problem. I have Server 2003 with SP1 installed
on my m/c.Please suggest......
NishantA good place to try to get an answer to your question

Since you use Win2003(SP1), it is possible the "Software Restriction
Policies" of local group policy that causes the problem.
Do following:
1. Run "gpedit.msc" from "Start->Run"
2. In the Group Policy Editor, expand "Computer Configuration" on the left
side;
3. Expand "Windows Settings", you can see "Software restriction Policy";
4. If there is not policies defined, create a new policy by right-clicking
"Software Restriction Policies"
5. Right-click "Enforcement" on the right side, and select "Properties";
6. Select "All users except local administrators;
7. Apply and OK the policy;
8. Close "Group Policy Editor";
9. Run "gpupdate /force" from command line, if you do not want to restart
the machine; or simply reboot.
10. Make sure run the VS2008 installation as local admin
I am not sure if this will solve your problem or not, worth trying, anyway.
