problem with download

[f15e]

I am trying to download Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition but I am getting the following error message:

"Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition - ENU has encountered a problem during setup. Setup did not complete correctly."

Also shows the following message:

The following component failed to install:
Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1


where due to this doesn't allow the rest of the components to install. Does anyone know why this is or how I can fix this?

You can download and install the Windows Installer separately, maybe this will get you wiser if this is the problem. Get the redistributable here (max 2.5MB dl) http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=889482fc-5f56-4a38-b838-de776fd4138c&displaylang=en
