You did not say what version of XP you are running because you cannot install SQL Server 2005 Standard in XP Home, if you are running Media edition or Pro copy the content of the CDs/DVD into a folder in your C drive and run setup from your C drive. One more thing if you intend to install Reporting Services make sure IIS is running or the installer will skip it without telling you why. Hope this helps.

|||From the error message in the log, it appears that you have a setting on your machine which is preventing the systemstate backup to be rolled back. Check with your network administrator about disabling this setting.|||

I have Windows XP professional. IIS is running. Installation from C is also failed.

May be, I uninstalled incorrectly beta-version of Visual studio 2005 and/or SQL Server 2005.

I uninstalled all components and then cleaned register, but it didn't help.

Thanks.

Lets start with some WinXP system restore to the last available restore point and copy the files to the C and install from C drive. And I just noticed you are not running the standard setup, because I know the bootstrap setup runs for a short while and terminates. The 2005 installer is very easy I know because I had installed 2000 on all operating systems including 64bits except Vista and it was a pain but installing 2005 was a breeze. Keep me posted and pay attention to the installer don't answer questions not relevant to you.
