web-platform-installer

I went to http://www.asp.net/mvc/ to try to install ASP.NET MVC.
I didn't know, but MVC is now at version 2.

There's a nifty thing called the Microsoft "Web Platform Installer" (WPI) which basically is a small installer-driver tool that presents a menu of things I might want to install, to do web things on Windows. On the menu are things like ASPNET MVC2, but also Drupal, PHP, Joomla, and a bunch of other things.

From http://www.asp.net/mvc/, when I click on the link that says "Install MVC", it resolves to http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=185037, which then pops up the WPI.

But Then! I get an error dialog that reads "Installing ASPNET MVC2 requires VS2008 SP1".

But I know that I have VS2008 SP1.

What gives?
