VS .Net Install problem.....

Hi everyone....
I just got Visual Studio .net beta 2 on CD today and am trying to install it on the following computer:

Processor: Intel Celeron 400Mhz

RAM: 128MB

Op. Sys: Win 2K pro rc2/dual boot with Win98 "streight"(no upgrades).

HD: Lots of room

The problem occurs when the Windows Component Upgrade runs. I keep getting a message telling me that another program on the system requires that the system reboot and that I can re-run setup afterwords. I boot. Same problem. I boot. Same problem. Time loop. Does anyone know anything about this??
Thanks for reading :)

P.S. - I tried shutting down everything I could from the Task Manager - didn't help.

RC2 = Release Candidate 2? Get yourself the release version and then install the latest W2K service pack.

Yep.......
Kinda suspected that the RC2 copy of 2K might be my problem. Guess I'll just hafta quit being cheap and buy a REAL copy or "upgrade??" to XP.
