I solved my own problem.
It turns out that the .NET 2.0 hotfix installation was trying to stop the
IIS Admin service, which for some unknown reason refused to stop. So I did
the following:
Disable the IIS Admin service and the three other services that depend
on it.
Restart the machine.
Run an installation repair on the .NET 2.0 framework.
Now the CD installed without a hitch.
