TURN OFF YOUR SPYWARE! Turned off my Counterspy last night and all the .NET
files loaded perfectly. Then I installed QB2008 with the spyware turned off
(turned off my antivirus too) and it loaded perfectly.

Seems like Intuit and MSFT could figure this out and have saved all of us a
LOT of wasted time and effort! Hope this helps everyone.
