Problem Installing SQL Server 2005 Express

When I attempt to install the standalone SQL Server 2005 Express, the install hangs at "Detecting Installed IIS". I have reboot the PC.

I have sucessfully installed the other parts of Visual Studio Team Developers Edition.

I am running XP Pro SP2.

Previously I had Beta 2 and the Release candidate installed on my PC and I carefully followed the recommended uninstall procedure.

Please Help.

SteveSame here with XP Home SP2, a clean/new pc with only .Net 1.1 installed prior to installing VS (VB .Net) Express 2005.
|||Is there a workaround/fix?

BTW, I do not have IIS installed.|||

I have fixed the problem. I saw a post on the general VS 2005 setup forum that status that Norton/Symantec Anti-Virus and Firewall products may cause the hang-up on "Detecting Installed IIS". After disabling all Norton/Symantec software, the install completed sucessfully.
