Visual Studio 2008 Team Foundation Server Build Install Error

So I was able to get TFS 2008 Build to install finally today, but not until I got passed a nasty error.

Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team Foundation Server Build - ENU has encountered a problem during setup.  Setup did not complete correctly.

This was a pain for me, but the fix is simple. Set your Team Foundation Server Service Account (used for TFS Web Services) to a non system account. You will need to setup a domain account and not a local account to support this. Why give me the option????
