Following are the steps to troubleshoot Visual Studio 2008 setup problems: -
1. Download the FREE VSTS software from- http://bit.ly/OxdIK
2. Ensure that all of the pre-release (Beta or CTP versions) components on your machine have been removed:
3. Install the latest Windows updates from the Windows Update site: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
4. Check if there are any anti-virus or antispyware applications running. Make sure they are turned off during installation.
5. Make sure that the installation media is healthy. If the installation from disc drive is not working well, you can try copying the contents of the disc to the hard disk and installing from the hard disk.
6. Complete or dismiss Windows Update before installation. (and don't forget to turn it on later)
7. If the installation fails, you can collect the setup log file and analyze them.
Clean up the temporary folder (Open the menu “Start” “Run” and run “%TEMP%” without quotation marks) and reproduce installation failure. The log files will be generated in the temporary folder.
You can also utilize the collect tool from here:

Note - After running the tool, you can go to your %TEMP% folder to find the file vslogs.cab by clicking on the “Start” menu, choosing Run and running “%TEMP%” (without quotation marks). It may take some time for the tool to collect log files on your machine. Please be patient.

8. Try using Process Monitor to track whether there is any file/registry access related issue.
