Thought I'd post this because Google didn't give me the answer I needed and I'm sure there are other people out there who find out they need VS 2003 for some reason, AFTER they install VS 2005.
Problem: The VS 2003 installer tries to setup the prerequisites and fails on the .Net Framework 1.1 installation, because 2.0 is already installed. This then causes the rest of the installation to fail.
Solution: Install the 1.1 framework using a downloadable installer, which for some reason succeeds where the one shipped with VS 2003 failed. After that, start the VS 2003 installation again; it'll find 1.1 in place and perform the rest of the installation flawlessly.
Caveat: MS says multiple versions of VS can coexist, but recommends the installations to be in the order of release, so I'm not sure if I've actually broken anything obscure going in reverse.

OK, should've been clearer; I meant the Microsoft .NET Framework Version 1.1 Redistributable Package available here.
