visual studio .net setup: Hi there,

In addition to my previous post, I cancelled my J# install, and then went
back to the start, and now it has got to disc 2 of VSNet 2003, but appears
to be stuck.

The display shows

Directory:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\CompactFrameworkSDK\ConnectionManager\Bin\DriverInstall

File: setup.ini

I looked in the logs and it said

<<
[09/26/03,11:24:18] VS70pgui: Failed to increment max steps for small
progress. Logging as event not error ... noncritical.
[quoted text, click to view]

This says to me that it can't update the progress, but that it isn't a
problem.

This was at 11:24, and it is now 15:45, so I am really wondering whether it
has hung.

Any ideas anyone???

TIA
Kindo

Hi Kindo,

that error is noncritical and is not the cause for hanging. Please verify
existence of vserror71.txt file and posts its contents.


Just some ideas:
- have you already disabled any AntiVirus software?
- have you looged as an user, who is part of Administrators group?
- have you already tried to copy CD contents to hard disk, by using XCopy
accordingly to the following technical article?
307372 HOW TO: Create a Network Installation Point for Visual Studio .NET
Setup
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=307372 (after copying, please run setup
from HD)
- is your WinXP Pro up-to-date, accordingly to
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com?
- have you already tried, if possible, to install the same package on a
different machine?
- is IIS installed and running? Please check if C:\Inetpub\wwwroot gives
Full Control for Adminisrtators and SYSTEM account
- does the RegisteredOrganization contain non alpha-numerical characters (I
mean the registry key "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion -
RegisteredOrganization")
- ... (after looking at vserror71.txt)
