I know there is a way to install programs AS something else in windows XP. Can someone help me out.
And is anyone else having problems getting Visual Studio to install on XP?

Are you talking about compatibility mode? If so run compatibility mode wizzard, choose the compatible OS and pick the executable to run it with. I don't know of any way to actually install it that way.

Are you talking about installing/running a program as another user? All you need to do is right-click on the executable/installer and select "Run As," and then select the user to run the program as (probably Administrator.)
