    When I look at the logfiles it seem to fail on the .NET 2.0 install.

    Be sure to install as administrator and avoid running antivirus software and similar that might want to check files while you install.

    Make sure you have windows installer installed

    Try to install .NET separatly, either from windows update or download

    Did you have any VS2005 or .NET 2.0 betas installed Then you might want to clean your system.

    How are you installing the system. If you are using the web installer to download and install I have seen problems with the connection dropping out and stopping the install. My suggestion is to first make sure that you operating system is upto date. Then try the manual install method to install the express product. If that fails then try installing the components seperatly, ie the framework and sql express/ sql native client, then try the express ide again.

    The problem is in the manual and the web install both...You mean I have to check only IDE for download
