There is a bug in MS SQL Server 2005 (which is installed as part of the toolset) than may send your computer into an endless reboot cycle.

If you are running XP please make sure you are on SP3 before you install the toolset.  This is not an issue with Vista or Windows 7 installs. 

If you are already into this loop, help can be found in the following thread.

The installer could check and at least print a warning, instead of a random forum message?
I just installed it before i had a chance to read this, luckily i got sp3.


Agreed.  We are hoping to have the next version of the installer check the service pack  and refuse to install if you don't have SP3.  We certainly would not have let this go out like this if we had been aware of this particular bug.
The game requires SP3, but it will install regardless.  We did not explicitly test XP SP 2 for the toolset as it was not supported.  It was only after we released it and people started installing the toolset with SP2 that we ever saw the issue.
