We've had a number of reports of the WSE 2.0 RTM and SP1 installers
failing with the following error message:

Error 10001.InstallUtilLib.dll: Unknown error in CorBindToRuntimeHost
(0x80131700).

Whilst we are still investigating the problem to determine the root
cause, we have managed to identity a workaround that enables the
installer to complete successfully. The steps for this workaround are as
follows:

1) Take the XML given below and save it in a file called "_isconfig.xml"
on the root of drive that you are launching the installer from,
typically this is the C:\ drive. (Note there is a leading underscore
character in the file name).

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<configuration>
   <startup>
     <supportedRuntime version="v1.1.4322" />
   </startup>
</configuration>

2) Run the installer, which should complete successfully.
