First make sure you have the latest service pack for your OS installed.

You shouldn't get this message when you try to download, but you may get it

when trying to install. IE8 requires at least Service Pack 2 on Windows XP,

it's right there on the system requirements in the installation

instructions. Did you read the installation instructions?



Microsoft really should have put a version detection into the installer to

avoid all this, popping up a message saying "You need to install Service

Pack 2 or higher" would have made this step a whole lot simpler ...
