ActiveSync installation problems

My husband has a Fujitsu laptop (less than 18 months old) running XP.
He is unable to install ActiveSync on the machine. We've turned off all
non-essential services including firewall, AV, etc.

The installer stops with a very enigmatic "unable to complete
installation, please restart" or something along those lines.
Subsequent attempts produce a gripe from the installer about a failed
installation and please reinstall.

Endless do-loop.

We've used both the OEM CD that came with our Moguls (two phones, two
CDs, both fail installation on the laptop) and the current ActiveSync
download from MS.

Any ideas?

That's a FAQ I hadn't found, thanks. I'll have a closer look tomorrow
and see if it's any help.
