Vista Will Not Install Due To Windows SharePoint Services

I can't on that system. It has over 200 programs installed! I know I should
not have installed it, but I did.

Why can't someone from Microsoft tell me what files or registry entries
found cause this to come up? I am an MSDN subscriber. I have probably made
Microsoft tons of money since I switched to PCs in the late 80s and started
selling, developing for, and recomending PCs and Microsoft products. I could
tell you why my software comes up with errors and does certain things. I
thought I was helping Microsoft by debuging there software.

Because Microsoft does not support a beta. The only support is self-help
and peer to peer.
