Uninstall Tool:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=AAE7FC63-D405-4E13-909F-E85AA9E66146&displaylang=en
Also, remember that with Vista, you get .NET Framework 3.0 in the box and you need to upgrade to the RTM version of Vista to get the RTM .NET Framework.

I just updated my notebook successfully with latest .NET tools and framework.
Installed in following order :
1. .NET 3.0 runtime components
2. .NET SDK 3.0
3. Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition
4. WCF & WPF plugins to VS.NET 2005
Things went smoothly except some exceptions which can be corrected if you restart machine after every component install even if not asked for.

I installed Windows Vista sooner downloaded from MSDN.
I also installed all the necessary components obtained from here.
Oh, my regret is that the Extensions for WCF, WPF do not work at all from scratch. The following is the message when I repeatedly tried to do:
Visual Studio 2005 extensions for .NET Framework 3.0 (WCF & WPF)
There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part
of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or
package vendor.
[ OK ]
After clicking the OK button, the installer uninstalls some components by running back the progress bar. Which is seemingly the reason why the extensions do not work. Some necessary components are rolled back and remain missing.
Meanwhile, if you don't click the OK button and leave the message box intact, you can temporarily use the extensions with VS2005. With this trick, I managed to experience my first XAML application. What a poor first experience it was. So miserable on Windows Vista.
What I'd like to know here is: Is it only me who experiences such a disaster?
