I don't know the answer but I suspect it matters a lot if there's stuff from
previous installs still hanging about, especially bits of old dotnet
frameworks. Did you follow the instructions for uninstalling stuff and if so
are you sure they are all gone?
Second I think you can install from the prerequisites disk, using the other
CD first is to avoid installing unnecessary stuff I reckon.
I'm not sure about this, had no problems myself on about 3 machines and XP
and 2003 so I can't claim any knowledge, just suggestions where to look.
FWIW I have both 2003.net and the 2005 beta running on one system and
haven't yet hit trouble but that may be because I'm lucky or else I don't
use the potentially problematic bits :)

Everytime I try and install it it says that I do not have the
prerequisites
to install .NET. So I click to install the prerequisites and it says
"Setup has detected that another program requires the computer to reboot.
You must reboot the computer before installing Visual Studio .NET
Prerequisites. Once the system reboots you need to restart setup. Click OK
to
reboot."
After I reboot I run the setup again and it does the same thing and asks
me
to reboot again. So I tried putting in the prerequisites CD and it says
"Insert the Visual Studio .NET CD1 to install prerequisites"
Any ideas? I have WinXP Pro and all updates.
