When trying to install the MS Visual Studio.Net on WinXp
Prof i get the following error message before the actual
installation (copy)-procedure:
"A selected drive is no longer valid. Please review your
insallation path settings before continuing with setup."

My Partition Table:
C: NTFS
D: NTFS
....
I: FAT32
J: FAT32

On the Devices Show/Hide tab i can only see the drives d, i
and j.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Regards,
Rainer

Rainer,

I've seen this problem occur if permissions aren't set properly on the root
directory. Make sure that both System and Administrators have Full Control
security permissions on C.
