[Year 12 Its] VB 2005 Express Edition - Install glitches

[Jolly, Michael D]

Help Wanted!
Several things - when I try & install on my ThinkPad the install falls over at the first of the 2 products - V2 Infrastructure.
When I try & install on the school network I get stopped by an earlier message saying that I need XP Service Pack 2 (I have this installed on my TP). 
I spoke to our techy and he said that the department discouraged the install of the Service Pack!

So, I was wondering if others had experienced these install issues and how they surmounted them, or could provide further detail about them.
Naturally, I would like to get the install completed before I go on leave, and I wanted to teach myself VB.net during the holz.
