Can't install IE8

I have done a clean install of Windows Vista Home Premium on an HP machine
belonging to one of our club members. It has been updated to Service Pack 2.
I can't install IE8. The response is that IE8 isn't supported! Yet I have
installed it on several other machines for computer club members?

Any thoughts?

Forget it! I was trying to install the XP version. It has now installed.
