Not able to install Visual Studio 6.0 sp6 on win xp with sp2 System

Dear Team,

I was trying to install Visual Studio 6.0 on windows xp service pack 2 during installation it gives some warning messages.Below are the error messages

1 The new VSS DB Format offers faster performance and label promotion. It is recommended for new databases. When upgrading choose yes if all clients have v6 software other wise choose No to support both V5 and V6 clients with the old db Format

I clicked on NO Tab


2 The visual studio 6.0 Enterprise edition setup failed. Please try re-running the installation wizard

I Clicked on OK Tab and the software was working fine . But when i try to install Visual Studio SP6 on same system it was giving me error message "Visual Studio 6.0 service pack 6 setup was not completed successfully.Below softwares are installed on same machine

1 Windows xp with sp2
2 Acrobat Reader
3 open office
4 Microsoft .NET Frame work 2.0 and 3.5
5 MCafee Antivirus

Even when i try to uninstall the visual studio 6.0 but it gives me error message "Setup is unable to open data file c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\common\setup\1033\setup.stf run setup again from where you originally ran it" .

Same software with SP6 i installed on different machine (Windows xp with sp2) and it worked fine and also uninstallation was successful without any error. I have not installed any other software on this machine.
