I downloaded SQL Server 2005 standard edition from MSDN. I tried to install it but the splash.hta and setup.exe don't work. When I click on splash.hta, northing happens. When I click on setup.exe I get the message "setup failed". When I uninstalled the standard edition and instead downloaded the developer edition I the same thing happens. My laptop runs on Windows XP Professional with SP2 and the browser is IE Version 6.
What do I need to do to get the SQL Server 2005 installed?

i am still stuck
