Web Authoring Component installation fails during Visual Studio 2008 installation

The Web Authoring Component installation fails during the full version of Visual Studio 2008 installation. The reason for this is the Web Authoring Component installation will launch an “Autorun” file and this autorun will be blocked by the antivirus software, which causes the Visual Studio 2008 installation to fail.  How can this be avoided?

To avoid this, disable the Antivirus software during the Visual Studio 2008 installation.
