hi guys, just wondering if anyone has had any experience installing Visual Stuido 2008 team suite on Windows 7 x64??

i've had a browse around the internet and people are saying that it works without a hitch, however when i do it, i get the error 0x80070091 - whilst it is installing the visual studio bit!

after a quick search on google, its aparantely something to do with not being able to delete a folder (i'm not sure why it wants to delete anything), after a longer search there was another guy who had the same problem with a Visual Studio 2005 installation. he managed to find out (that on his installation) it was his dual core setup and hyperthreading that was causing this.

i'm running a core-2-duo E6750
2gb RAM (upgrading to 6GB soon - good old x64
