1) Has it got all the prerequisites installed.
2) If you don't need any of the web based stuff , don't install it
3) It needs several reboots to install the whole thing. If you're doing XP, Visual Studio.net with SQL Server and Office, it will be at least 8 reboots and a whole day!

Try disconnecting from the net before installing. It may be picking up some online site stuff which you don't really need.
