VS 2010 RC installer crashes

Has anyone heard of a fix for the VS 2010 RC installer crash? I'v开发者_StackOverflowe seen it mentioned a couple times on Connect, but no word on a work-around.

Ok, you aren't going to believe this.

Display the language bar at the taskbar, right-click on it and choose settings. Then you remove the hand writing support from the list.

There is a bug in the RC for computers with touch screens, and I guess this is the problem.

The funny thing is that I don't have a touch screen.

I had similar trouble, the installation disk would spin up for a few seconds then power down and nothing.
I tried the above solutions but none worked, eventually found that the "Sonic DLA" utility caused problems, once uninstalled VS2010 installed perfectly.

I had this problem when I used Microsoft's vcdcontroltool to mount the ISO image.
using Virtual clone drive it worked perfectly.
