Looked at it, and it has some error logs after the IE8 installation was over. But I couldn't make out what exactly the problem was. Error: WmiCmiPlugin eventloghandler.cpp(46): InstrumentationManifestAssert failed. HR=0x80073aa2. Error: WmiCmiPlugin eventloghandler.cpp(183): ProcessEventsInstall failed. HR=0x80073aa2.

Thanks. I found the log, but in that, there are only INFO entries. Not even a single warning or error. I could not figure out what went wrong.

Microsoft just makes you hate their products even if you're a windows lover. I'll tell you why. I recently installed Google Chrome. Installation was very light, and it took less than a minute to get it installed and working. Wow... I decided to try out IE8 as well. Downloaded and installed. It asked me to reboot after the install. Ok, I rebooted... The machine was 'Configuring Updates' for the next 5 minutes. After all that, it was saying, 'Failed to install the updates properly - reverting back'.... WTF?!! Why can't IE8 get installed in my legal Vista Home Premium?! I just hate it. Anyone here faced this problem? I'd appreciate any information as to what went wrong.

I wanted to install a lighter version of vista in my laptop inside the virtual PC. When I installed vLite in the host OS (Vista HP again), it is asking me to install Automated Installation Kit. I went to microsoft.com to download this stuff, and I was shocked to see its size (1.3 GB!!) Can anyone tell me whether I'll be able to use vLite without this heavy AIK? I don't want to install a 1.3GB of software in my host OS just to prepare a lighter installation of Vista for the virtual PC. TIA!
