Error installing visual studio 2010

So I encounter error 1603 while installing visual studio 2010, it is the first thing being installed so it crashes right at the beginning.

[10/25/11,19:18:50] Microsoft .NET Framework 4: [2] Error code 1603 for this component means "Fatal error during installation.
"
[10/25/11,19:18:50] Microsoft .NET Framework 4: [2] Setup Failed on component Microsoft .NET Framework 4

I have uninstalled other framework versions, its not run in compatibility mode, tried running as administrator.

I have the log file if it helps.

On vista.

Are you installing from a downloaded iso?

I got a similar error when installing from a download - in the end I had to download a second time and using the new iso it worked.

Downloading another ISO did not work, do you think I should reinstall windows?
