On a new computer with XP pro and Visual Studio Team System 2008 (see below for exact configuration) I can install GuidanceAutomationExtensions.msibut when I try to install GuidanceAutomationToolkit.msi I get the message "C# Language is not installed....."
( I also had similar trouble with Enterprise Library May 2007.msi)
I ran the Gax trouble shooter (see below).
