After installing VWD 2005 Express, I get the following every time I start Word or Excel 2003:
Please wait while Windows Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition - ENU
Then:
The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'VNSSetup.msi' in the box below.
If I point to the file, it tries to install something but it still comes up every time I start Word or Excel. What is it trying to install Any ideas how to get rid of this

I've seen similar issues with other VS 2005 products. Try installing the latest office service pack which may fix it.
If that doesnt help, check the application and system event logs which may help you determine what's causing this.

I have the same error, when lanching MS Project
the Application event logger says :

I have also faced this problem and I have solved it now.
You can reference it.
1:Let the window that you have mentioned above appear.
2
TART->SEARCH->IN FILES you can search the .msi file out.
3:You lead the window find the path that it need,also the path you find out above.
4:Click the OK button.
5:Congratulations!
You got it.

VNSSetup.msi is the installer package for Visual Web Developer (formerly code-named Venus, hence the VNS part). Based on the error, it sounds like VWD didn't complete its installation properly. I haven't seen this myself, but I think you might want to start by uninstalling VWD, rebooting, checking to see of Word and Excel still give you the error, then (if they don't) redownloading and reinstalling VWD.
Sorry I don't have a cleverer answer.
