Hello everyone,
I am running Windows Vista with SP1. Installing IE8 starts, then nothing happens and a window opens with the following message:

Setup Module Windows has stopped working and was arrested.

Whether in normal startup mode or selective mode with just the system services enabled. Antivirus enabled or disabled. Has anyone got any solution for this. Thank you.

Name of the Setup: IE8-Windows Vista-x86-ENU.exe
So the answer is yes.
Thank you.
