This is the fifth time now, tried different machines, different drive sizes,even tried both Vista and XP, nothing seems to work.
I installed a virtualbox VM. Set up an OS, then try to set up VS2008.
And then the VS2008 installation crashes with the following error log
[04/13/09,14:27:31] setup.exe: [2] ISetupComponent::Pre/Post/Install() failed in ISetupManager::InternalInstallManager() with HRESULT -2147023293.

My VM typically (I tried this a lot) has a 20 GB disk and 700MB ram allotted. Everything else is default.
Anyone have any similar problems or can at least help me out with whats going on?
