I'm having problems with the Prep tool too.  It keeps failing when it tries to update the 2008 shell, which I guess was installed when I did SQL 2008 RC0.  Here's the error...

Returning IDOK. INSTALLMESSAGE_ERROR [Error 1706.An installation package for the product Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Shell (integrated mode) - ENU cannot be found. Try the installation again using a valid copy of the installation package 'vs_shell.msi'.]

Any ideas?

I got the exactly same problem: vs_shell.msi cannot be found

i located it on the sql server 2008 full rc0 cd in the folder 'x64\Setup'

I found the proper file on my SQL Server CD too, it just didn't like it.  I had to end up un-installing the Visual Studio 2008 Shell before I could continue.

You need to choose correct version x64 or x86. It works fine then.

Same happened to me. You have to get the file from SQL 2008 RC0 setup files.
