I'm attempting to install SQL Server 2005 Developer edition on Windows XP
Media Center SP2.

I get the error:
An installation package for the product Microsoft SQL Server VSS writer
cannot be found. Try the installation again using a valid copy of the
installation package "sqlwriter.msi"

On the CD, sqlwriter.msi is present in the Setup folder.
This is the sqlwriter section of the log:

Setup cannot find SqlWriter.msi. You have two options:
1. Uninstall SQL Writer
2. Put SqlWriter.msi to E:\

and then rerun setup.
