install issues Windows Vista Hi,
Had a similar problem with Windows Server 2008 Standard. Had all the right C++ and NET software installed. Still broken. I added autoElevate string with the value xsd:string to the Registry and it worked!
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SMI\WinSxS Settings\x86_microsoft-windows-settings_31bf3856ad364e35_none_025c648fcaefab55\6.0.6001.18000\Settings]
"autoElevate"="xsd:string"
