Author Cannot install VS .Net 2003 - bootstrap problem

I am stuck. Have VC++ 6.0 installed, had .Net 2002 installed and working before. Install of 2003 gets stuck on runtime setup prerequisite. Have uninstalled everything I can think of, reinstalled, etc.. I can't figure out what is preventing bootstrap.
Am installing on Windows XP.

Here is the entire log of the "msiexec /i bootstrap.msi" cmd:

=== Logging started: 04/15/2004 18:02:39 ===
Action start 18:02:39: INSTALL.
Action ended 18:02:39: INSTALL. Return value 3.
=== Logging stopped: 04/15/2004 18:02:39 ===
MSI (c) (88:08): Product: Visual Studio.NET Baseline - English -- Installation operation failed.

If I execute msiexec in verbose mode I get lots of output but I don't see any glaring errors.

Anyone have any ideas? What should I look for?

hi.

- I'd check if the WWWROOT$ is shared properly
- If you are using WinXP, disable all services but MS ones using MSConfig from the Start|Run menu.
