ADE9 install hangup driving me nuts

[bpfowler]

So, I went to install ADE9, with much anticipatio, I may add.

problem 1: ADE9 requires dotnet framework 3.5
--I go and get it, and try to install it

problem 2: Dotnet framework says it needs MS Installer 3.1 it says is not on my XPsp2 rig.
-- I go and get MS installer 3.1 and try to insall it

problem 3: XPsp2 says: MSI 3.1 is not a win32 application and cannot be installed.

so, is this GAME OVER, or is there a way to get this worked out that is technically comprehensible to a lite mind like mine?

thanks fellers,
brady
