Unable to install Visual Stidio 2005 on Windows Vista Beta 2
I just tried to install VS2005 on my Vista Beta 2 box and received an error message saying that the setup process was terminated. Few minutes googling and the solution was there: I just had to install msxml6 before proceeding with the VS2005 installation. And that may be done by launching the msxml6 installer from: [DVD]\wcu\MSXML\msxml6.msi Then I launched VS2005 installer again and everything was just fine.

why googling? call MS support!
May be this is quite a reason:
