Installing SQL Server 2005 Developer Editon Error

I have just installed Visual Studio 2005, but I cannot install MS Sql Server 2005 at all. It gives me an error that says look in Program FilesMS SQL Server90Setup BootstrapLOGFiles and there is a file which contains the following:

Also, the SQL Server express also did not install at all when I was installing VS 2005 Pro.

Any ideas?
