    What OS is your laptop running. I googled the error and there were a lot of hits. Here is one of them

    From what I've read, windows 8 has a problem installing the .Net Framework 3.5 and this is where your issue is as Visual Studio's 2008 requires it. Try installing the .Net Framework 3.5 separately, first. Then try installing visual studio's 2008.
