Failed install of standard SQL 2005 server on XP

I have an issue with trying to install SQL 2005 standard on my XP machine.

I get an .hta file that is not readable and when I btpass that I get a pop-up message:

please go to the control panel to install and configure system components.

WTH?

PLease assist....

Is your XP on Service Pack 2?|||Yes, I am completely up to date with all of my SP's and patches.|||

I did not relize this but this was a simple fix.

All I had to do was go into the SQL disk was to open it up and execute the Setup.exe instead of opening it up from the .hta file.
