Happy to say i found the solution myself
Problem was windows' language. Im not using an english version, but i added
a usergroup, and so it installed perfectly
Used this:
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/about/releasenotes.mspx
and found this link: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=915087
thanks

I have looked at that web-page for help, but the steps that are explaned
there does not apply to me beacuse i can't follow the steps of one simple
reason - I can't find local users when I rightclik My Computer and choose
manage.
So that document was no help for me!

Hi Sindre

For XP Home Edition this kb is "wrong".
(Have tried to explain this for MS)

Just perform Step 1 and you can install WD.

If you are running XP Home, as I understand it step 2 isn't available. I'm
unclear whether it is necessary, however--check other threads with "1609" in
them for alternative solutions.

Hi Bill

"IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO PERFORM STEP 2 WITH HOME EDITION."

"Bang" this in MS head........

Home Edition is not designed in that way !

But to only use Step 1 works for install
but maybe it´s better to delete this user group.

But that I leaves to MS experts........

Quickest fix is probably to use the links at the bottom of the KB article to
provide that feedback. I'll do it too!
