I was trying to install .NET framework 2.0 and it was failing with this error.
Product: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 -- Error 25015.Failed to install assembly 'X:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Microsoft.VisualBasic.Vsa.dll' because of system error: The device is not ready.
After some searches, I came across Aaron Stebner's Weblog which addresses this issue in the post How to manually clean up a failed .NET framework 2.0 install.
Needless to say, the post was very helpful, and running the cleanup tool removed the remnants of earlier installs of .NET 2.0 (needed a couple of runs to really clean my system.)
Get the tool at the cleanup tool at http://astebner.sts.winisp.net/Tools/dotnetfx_cleanup_tool.zip.
I used the version at http://www.cnblogs.com/Files/lovesanni/cleanup_tool.zip (Warning: Use it at your own risk!)
Note: The Windows Installer Clean Up Utility was not at all helpful although it works for some.
