I tried restarting the pc but that didnt fix it neither.
It probably saved some stuff in the registry which stops vs from installing now.
Does anyone know where windows keeps history of 'currently installing' programs so i can remove the entry and allow vs to install?

Nope, however deleting all keys under a name similar (use the search function in regedit) to visualstudio should do it.
By any chance are you running Norton AV?
BTW, wrong subforum.

Dthdealer:
Could you *please* read what somebody is saying before giving them potentially destructive advice? zunnie's post is clearly saying that *another* program thinks it's install is pending, not Visual Studio.
zunnie: Use msizap (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301) to clean up any pending installs.
