I did the google you suggested. One guy said you have to use administrative
priviledges. Well, here's the whole (short) thread (minus one signiture

Error code 2908 for MSI is "Could not register component".
Try running the MSI installer under administrative privileges.

That was it, thank you. That's been the first time I had to use the
administrator like this.

I too am facing the same problem and I am installing with a user
having administrative rights? Can there be some other cause to the
issue?

I thought I was installing Strawberry Perl as administrator (Using the
default administrator logon that appears in Windows XP when you
haven't created any other users) but I kept getting error 2908. It
wasn't until I made a new user and gave them admin privileges that I
could install without that error. When is an admin not an admin? When
on Windows.

Same problem!
So now I'll go see about admin priviledges, and will
report back.
