hi,i have a problem in installing sql server 2005 express,and even 2008.Ive searched the net for possible solutions but Ive not seen an error the same with me so ive decided to ask now. I hope someone can help me.

this is the error Ive received when i install sql server 2005 express:

sql server 2005 error

errors occured during the installation:
error 1625 installing microsoft sql server 2005 setup suport files.
see log file for more detailed information.
this installation is forbidden by system policy. contact your system administrator[/I]

<i will attach the log file below>

this is the error Ive received when i install sql server 2008 express:

[I]sql server 2008 error
TITLE: SQL Server Setup failure.
------------------------------

SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:

MsiGetProductInfo failed to retrieve ProductVersion for package with Product Code = '{4A6F34E2-09E5-4616-B227-4A26A488A6F9}'. Error code: 

1608..[/I]

------------------------------

I'll provide as much information as possible.here it is-
Im using windows xp(p4,2.8GHz,512 RAM)
Im the administrator
before,ive installed a sql server 2005 with advance features,the installation is successful but there are no instance installed so i reinstalled the program.But while im in that 2nd installation,my computer restarts and it continually restarts again and again. Ive log in safe mode,enabled the windows installer,and uninstalled the sql server and all its components.after that my PC returned to normal<I think>.I think this is the reason why im getting error now.
I have a Visual studio 2008 professional installed in my PC.but even the sql server included in it fails to install.dont know why<but i can use the vspro correctly>
