visual studio .net setup: Well, guys i am really in trouble.
I'm trying to install VS.NET 2003 Enterprise Architect on
Windows XP Professional Machine. Every time i ran the
installer it came up with 25003 Error twice while
creating VSDevGroup.
I tried installing the product directly form origional
cd's as well as by copying all cd's on my harddisk within
one folder as recommended in older posts about resolving
this issue.
By inspecting the actuall log of MSI Installer that gets
created in "C:\windows\installer" folder i came up with
the following text detailing about some steps went on
during setup and showing reasons of this error. I dont
know why its showing that. i have fullfilled all the
requirements neccessary to install the product like
installing prerequisits, setting up server extensions,
and installing the product using Admin rights.
Although MSI Long is not in a readable format but some
portions of it are still readable so i managed to re-
format thses portions to create some understandable
picture of that log.

Hi Ashan,
Internal Error 25003 should be related to installation source. Have you
already tried the following tests?

(1) copy CDs contents on your hard disk (and launch setup from there) by
using
XCOPY command as described in the following article:
307372 HOW TO: Create a Network Installation Point for Visual Studio .NET
Setup
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=307372

(2) try to install from the network, as suggested by readme file, section
"4.1 Facilitating Setup over a Network". Readme file is also available
online at
312779 INFO: Visual Studio .NET Readme (Part 1)
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=312779

(3) look for updated drivers for your cd-rom / dvd-rom (look also
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com)

(4) Have you an hardware indicated by the following article?
320567 Visual Studio .NET and Microsoft Developer Network Files Corrupted
