Somebody support me in doing the manual installation of VS 2005 on Windows XP Sp2. I have downloaded the .img file named "54764" for manual installation of Visual Basic 2005.
I have extracted all the contents from this file and put in under "\VS2005\VS\" folder on my Desktop. Now while running the Autorun or Setup.exe file i receive a message
"A problem has been encountered while loading the setup components. Cenceling setup"
i have already uninstalled all the previous installation of Express edition and ran the utility from Microsoft - "vs_uninst_betas.exe"
Please help me out in stalling the VB 2005.
thanx

One of the first things that you you do is to make sure that you Operating system is up to date.... From my experience this is going to be the first Question MS Support will ask :)...
First go to the Microsoft Update service website and perform the update, during this there is an option to install the .Net framework 2 make sure that you do this. After this is complete even if the System says you do not have to perform a system restart.
Next try and perform the install again from the ISO or IMG file... (You might also want to cut this to a CD). If you do get any errors have a quick look through the event log on your machine to see if there are any errors in the logs. If so post them.
Also have a look in the program files directory (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Microsoft Visual C# 2005 Express Edition - ENU\Logs is the directory on my machine) there should be some log files there that may assist.

I have exactly the same problem.
I de-installed .net 2 and tried the setup - failed
I installed the latest .net 2 version and tried setup again - failed
Always with the same error message as above.
