It's possible a previous installation has not completed correctly.
Use the utility at the following link to remove any rogue installations files:

Maybe its a sign you should stop using vb6? :) Just kidding, this has happened to me on a variety of Office products, but never the IDE, there is a lengthy old discussion here. Also as the above post mentions, the cleanup util might help too.

valid point . .this is a legacy app that we are porting but we still need to look into the vb6 code once in a while to find out how some business logic worked.

This worked for me, for VS2010 RC:
"Please wait while windows configures Microsoft Visual studio 2010 Ultimate."
THe work around that fixes the issue for me was to run the following via the admin cmd prompt.
Md "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\common7\IDE\FromGAC"
