VS .NET install problem on XP pro

Hi All

I am trying to install VS .NET 2003 but I'm encountering a problem. I insert the installation disc and it autoruns. I then click on step 1 - Pre-requisites. As I don't want to host web applications I skip the installation of IIS and the front page server. At this point a installshield dialog pops up saying:

"Command line parameters:
/L language ID
/S Hide Intialization dialog. For silent mode use: /S/v/qn
/V parameters to MsiExec.exe .... etc."

Am I missing something. I have .NET framework 1.1 installed and SP2.

Any suggestions, please!

    Can you attach the logs from the %temp% directory vs_ddinstall80.txt, vs_errorlog.txt, etc..

    Thanks.

    What happens if we're running it from MSDN DVD   I'm having this same problem   Why is this all of a sudden happening

    If I run setup from the DVD I get the same message, and it quits.  I'm under the gun here to get this product finished and I can't even install Visual STudio!

    Dan,

    Thanks! That did the trick!

    Best,

    I had this exact same problem from the MSDN DVD. Here's what fixed it:

    Apparently the default "setup.exe" path gets changed somehow and when the installer tries to launch the prerequisites setup.exe it looks for it in the wrong path. This removed my issue completely.

    Try running from the original CDs. There is a Setup folder on the Disk1 CD. Inside that folder is Setup.exe for VS.NET.

    Run that directly and see if that works.

    Michael, thank you for that link. That was the EXACT problem I was having, on two different computers.

    Interesting--I am having the *exact* same problem. I installed VS.net 2003 some time ago, without problems, and am now trying to install a component I didn't originally install.

    I get the installshield dialog when clicking on "2. Visual Studio .NET" (I'm skipping the prerequisites since I've already installed those) in the initial installer menu.

    Dan, I'm not finding any file called vs_ddinstall80.txt or vs_errorlog.txt on my drive.

    Thanks for any help you can provide...
