I had an issue installing Visual Studio 2010 RC on Windows XP SP3?

(Have installed same ISO package on Vista and worked fine...)

Setup would fail no matter what I tried:

Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate RC Setup

A problem has been encountered while loading the setup components. Canceling setup.

I found a solution by "Mikael Söderström" on MSDN Forums:

Display the language bar at the taskbar, right-click on it and choose settings. Then you remove the hand writing support from the list.
