The error message was: "Windows installation has encountered an error and
cannot continue".
This is the setup error log file contents:
2008-04-13 21:44:00, Error [0x080567] MIG
CUpgradeAgent::GetMigXmlIDs: XML parse error while loading script
oscomps.xml: class UnBCL::XmlException: hResult = 0x0, Line = 0, Position =
0; An invalid character was found in text content.

2008-04-13 21:44:00, Error [0x0802fa] MIG MigStartUp caught

Mig::CUpgradeAgent::GetMigXmlIDs(void)

Sure I could wipe the system and start over but what is the challenge in
that?
Both versions are 32 bit.
