Hi everyone,
I just sovled this problem too with the trail version of Expression Blend. Here is what I did:
If you can an error screen when installing Microsoft's Expressions Blend 2 Trail, then follow these instructions for a work around.
1. Start the Blend_Trail_en.exe
2. When it crashes, DO NOT CLOSE THE WINDOW. Let it sit there. Just move it to the side or out of your way.
3. Find on your hard drive where the setup executable extraced the files. It will be in a folder with a GUID as its folder name.
4. Open the GUID folder and open the Setup folder. You should see the Blend_en.msi.
5. Double click the Blend_en.msi to install.
6. It should install properly.
7. Close the previous error window.
8. Run Expressions from your start menu!
This worked for me. Not sure why we have to hack programs like this but at least it worked!
Let me know if you have any luck.

Worked for me too. I'm glad I found your work around. I was getting frustrated with the trial download which was just locking up on my PC. Failed 3 times. But your work around was spot on! Thanks!
Richard,
Thanks for the nice comment. I am glad it worked for you!
