[Removing Help (System) breaks .Net 3.5 installation]

I was possibly a bit unclear. This post was more intended as a FYI and not as a bug report.

I have now vlited another Server 2008 (64 bit), with only Help (not the Guided help thingy) removed, and both .Net 3.5 and 3.5 sp1 beta aborts with an error. The error message is about Visualstudio8setup.

[Server 2008 install fails]

I've come down to roughly 1.2 GB to use as a test bed in VMware and everything seems to work so far.

The title says it all.

Just figured this out while trying to install SQL 2008 RC0 on a vLited Server 2008 x64.
