I was using an older version (71123 instead of 71223 - I was fooled by the very similar version numbers). I uninstalled 71123 but am unable to install 71223. I'm getting the same "error 2909" from the installer that I got before. Last time, removing the whole "ISE" key and subkeys solved the problem but this time it did not. So I can't go any further on this on Windows XP at the moment.
