I don't use Windows as my working platform (I use Mac OS), but I have  
Windows in a virtual machine, and my experience has been the same --- 
I installed MikTeX without any problem (first, MikTeX 2.5; yesterday,  
MikTeX 2.7), but I couldn't get a working installation of TeXLive.  
It's been quite easy on Linux and Mac, but not on Windows.

Now ---if you have succeeded installing MikTeX, why do you want to  
install TeXLive? For what I see, MikTeX is a very complete  
distribution, and, for example, TeXLive 2007 comes with XeTeX 0.996,  
whereas MikTeX 2.7 has already XeTeX 0.997 (the latest version from  
CVS).


Best,

Axel
