I did this before but and it always worked - but now I am installing on my Vista 32 laptop.
It goes almost to the end but then fails, here's the log:

Final Result: Installation failed with error code: (0x80070643), Fatal error during installation.
I had a look to the other log it points you to on the 2nd error line but it doesn't tell me much - and even if it did I doubt i would be able to find the relevant bit.
Looking at this article I tried to:
- reboot (yes, reboot)
- uninstall all office related stuff (all sorts of VS tools and web components etc - office itself was never installed on the machine)
I can't uninstall Visual Studio (I have no access to the image files at the momnet).
Any help appreciated!
