VS.Net 2003 Upgrade won't recognize qualifying products

visual studio .net setup:

It has been a while since I have installed this but I am trying to install
VS.Net 2003 Upgrade and I get to where it says it can't find Visual Studio
2002 on my machine and insert Disk 1 for VS 2002 in the cd drive. I don't
have VS 2002 but it should recognize both VB 6 or Macromedia MX both of which
I have inserted and it will not recognize them as qualifying products. Also
the click here link to see qualifying products isn't working as well. Does
anyone know what the problem may be?

I am running Win XP Pro w/ SP2.

Are you referring to the $29 upgrade which was offered in 2003?
If so, I think you'll find that upgrade was exclusively for Visual Studio
..NET 2002 licensees and only specified editions of Visual Studio .NET 2002
at that (the Academic edition was excluded). If you are talking about some
other upgrade, please identify it.

As Peter iterated, if it was the $29 upgrade package, it was specifically
written to upgrade VS.NET 2002 - any other qualifying media for the Retail
Upgrade of VS.NET 2003 will not work.

This upgrade was not the $29 upgrade. I have installed it on a Win 2000 Box
using VB 6 product for the upgrade. Now I have upgraded to an XP box and it
will not recognize VB 6 or any other program as a valid upgrade product. Also
the link that says click here to see qualifing list of products doesn't do
anything.

I'm now suspicious that you've run afoul of some kind of SP2 security issue.
In your shoes I'd first start researching SP2 information:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/security/expert/russel_installsp2.mspx

If nothing pops up, I'd consider uninstalling SP2, then trying the
installation (then reinstalling SP2).
Caveat: This opinion untested here.
