have also asked question in MSDN forum.
Do i have any better solutions to trouble shoot this problem other than re installing the OS ?
Had the same issue today and fixed it by reinstalling the .NET frameworks 4.5 and 4.0

You might have missing machine.config file.
Location: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG
After 2days of work around, Solution is finally here.....Phew!!!!!
Here we go,
As error indicated VS2010 was getting stuck while installing Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 64bit Prerequisites (x64)
So i searched for the corresponding directory and ran .exe manually
ran VS_Prerequisites_x64_enu & got one more ERROR
Looked for machine.config in indicated path, but I couldn't find machine.config in
So i copied machine.config.default on to desktop and renamed it to machine.config and added it to C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\CONFIG then ran VS_Prerequisites_x64_enu & then VS2010 installer.
Note: by doing this i tricked installer & installation went smooth.

I had a corrupted image that I downloaded and got the same result. My advice is to run the installer of a component individually; corrupted setups should fail immediately.
the problem is with the software you downloaded , its not downloaded completely, thats why that error , i also experienced the same , but i resolved it by redownloading the software,
after downloading check that the size of downloaded and the mentioned size in the website are same , if not its not downloaded completely, again download it and install
