How do I install my VS 2005 ?

                Few days back I got VS2005 and being on Sunday (No girls friend so at home L ) I thought to install it on my personal computer.It took me some 2 hours to complete it here is how I did ?

 

                I put CD1 but it gave me a list of alert to remove previous version of Whidbey. Then I removed my entire previous version and tried again now it goes well except one fascinating things that it ask 1st CD during installing 2nd CD. Which I never saw before.

                 Then I tried to install library but unfortunately I got the corrupted CD.I tried to remove whole installation because of one corrupt file (w2krk.hxs). But here I made tricks I tried to copy the w2krk.hxs file again it gave me the error but this time I went to Norton recovery manager and recover that file to one of my local drives. I also copied all other library files to local drive and install it successfully.

 

Let me play the with this now will tell now more later.

 

Cheers ..

  • I think the best way is to get it downloaded through msdn subscriber downloads (agreed bandwidth is a limiting factor, but I waited for a week to get it done :-).

    I uninstalled the previous versions (you need to do that in a order) and it worked fine for me.

    Anyway good luck, if you have time probably you might want to try it on a fresh image.
