Installation Failure 0x800800008

I have seen this posted by 1 other person here and they didn't get a response.
I have XP home and I too am getting this error. Im tired of searching it
out with not much info. Is there a page,site,Microsoft window that will
explane all these error codes we get?? When i was W982ndEd,I found all kinda
info on the errors.
If somebody has some helpful information they can share with me,(us) much
abliged.
Update for Windows XP (KB887742) I have uninstalled and re-installed
several times.

Thank you,

Aboat

It helps to search with the correct code. In your subject you have given
a 9 digit code instead of the more common 8 digit code. Try searching
for 0x80080008 instead? <w>

However, a code by itself doesn't mean very much. Context is what matters.
For example, I just did a search on the web interface for 0x80080008
and though there is definitely more than one incident found referring to it
it would appear that normally it is a secondary symptom and when it is
reported on its own no other details are provided. So it's possible that you
are misinterpreting your log and putting too much significance on the final
error code. Then the real clue to diagnosing your problem (whatever it is)
could be elsewhere in the log, etc.

Thank you Robert for your reply and the site for error codes.
My apologies for the typo,It was rather late in the A.M. and i was flustered.
I don't know how many hours I spent searching Microsoft documents. I
finally googled it and most likely with the 9 didget error.Google replyed
none.I'll double check myself from now on,starting with this reply.I have
found some answers to my questions thanks to you.
