2. CPU frequency is too low; the internal memory capacity is not enough, and insufficient disk space and so on.
3. Improperly install

Symptoms 2: unable to install VS 2008 with Virtual Drive and you fail to double click the Setup.exe, though you tried kinds of versions Vista。 And there may be is wrong with the Virtual Drive. Previous versions of Vista treat most of Virtual Drive as Physical CD-ROM.
While Vista system would distinguish strictly between Virtual Drive and Physical CD-ROM and some of Physical CD-ROMs would not be listed in Logical Disk Manager, for example the Virtual CD of UltraISO was not listed. Maybe the Virtual Drive is not completely compatible with Vista.
