I have a big problem with installing VS2008 on Windows 7 Beta. On around 15% of installation it freezes for around half an hour and then alert that "Visual Studio 2008 Cannot be installed, because there is no Windows XP Service Pack 2 installed".
I tried running with all compatibility modes available in properties and of course its running with administrative privilliges.
When you said "Beta", you meant the RC (Build 7100) or Build 7000?? If you use build 7000, you should upgrade right now to the RC because it will shut itself on the 7000. 7100 will be functionnal until March 2010.
