I have Windows XP, sp3 and I did the same thing. And kept getting the same error. I went back and downloaded ie7 first and then went and upgraded it to ie8. It seemed to work. But I also changed over to Mozilla Firefox and I think I like it a lot better. Someone told me there were things in ie 7 I needed first and then upgrade to ie8

This is because Microsoft software is a steaming pile of excrement. Do yourself a favour and download Mozilla Firefox. Not only it is more secure, it is also faster than IE.
