I had this issue as well because, in my case at least, I installed the SDK 
as part of the Visual Studio 2008 installation. Apparently the SDK is 
installed slightly differently than with the older Visual Studio 2005 
(which is the version GNAT for .NET officially supports). I understand the 
issue is probably related to the SDK version and not the VS version, but in 
any case there was a version problem.

The workaround was to manually edit some registry key to contain the 
information the installer is looking for (basically a path). The problem is 
that the key dosn't exist with the new SDK so you have to create it. Now 
you are probably wondering just which register key is involved. Alas, I 
don't recall and I can't find it right now. I realize that isn't too 
helpful. Perhaps someone else here can jump in with the necessary 
details... :-)
