Try installing framework4 seperatly. and uncheck the option of framework when u installing the VS2010. you myt be having corrupt files.

I haven't encountered this on 2010 but I have encountered similar on earlier versions - it used to occur when the version of the .NET Framework you were using had a newer service pack that the one Visual studio was trying to install e.g. 3.5 verses 3.5 sp1. It'd get compounded by other software usually provided by the hardware manufacturer running on the later versions of .NET
