I'm currently attempting to install SQL Server 2005 Express on my home PC for
development purposes. The first try was with the VB2005 installer, which
failed. I then downloaded the full 56MB file, and it still fails to install.
Below is the Core(Local).txt log:

I've googled for a while with no luck - generally, whenver this question was
asked it went unanswered. I'm hoping someone here can help.
