Report VS 2008 or .NET Framework 3.5 beta installation issues directly to the setup team
I just noticed this post on Bret Grinslade's blog that I wanted to link to here to help raise visibility. In that post, Bret describes how to gather more information about any installation failures that you might encounter while installing a beta version of Visual Studio 2008 and the .NET Framework 3.5, and also some resources where you can go to find more information about known issues and workarounds.
Here are some useful links that were presented in that blog post. If you are running into any problems installing VS 2008 or the .NET Framework 3.5, hopefully they will be helpful to you:
