Your system was infected and not fully restored. Under those circumstances, I'd be strongly considering formatting my OS partition (perhaps the entire drive) and reinstalling my OS from scratch.

thanks for your post.
as regards add/remove program not working,it's the link to it that doesn't work,as does for most other programs on the system such as IE..etc...etc. I've been working around the problem by right-clicking and selecting *run-as*,and then the app launches perfectly....and i'm not able to get add/remove to work in this way cause right-clicking on it doesn't present the option of selecting *run-as*. Always get missing rundll error. Anyways,this has been going on since Feb 2002,and i've been able to install/uninstall all sorts of applications and run every program on the system except those in the control panel(with the exception of admn tasks). Besides,I was also able to install the prerequisites. Re-installing the OS would probably cause me to either lose some data or require enormous shifting of data....which isn't an option at all.So either i get this VS.NET installed w/out major changes to the system or i return the almost dozen .net books i borrowed from the library,get a refund and forget about .net altogether and go back to java and the ilk (it still works on my system) and might as well pick up a copy of lindows from the same university bookstore that sold me VS.NET Academic. varun [quoted text, click to view] > <snip>

problem resolved;setup of VS.NET 2003 Academic successful.
a worm (some 'yaha' variant) which infected my computer last year had changed some registry setting because of which my vs.net setup was not starting properly.i tracked activity through filemon and rectified the problem by using a yaha-killer tool provided by f-secure (god bless them). setup went smoothly and even the earlier problem which i mentioned (of not being able to directly open files) is now resolved. MS support was incredible. thanks

Have fun with Visual Studio .NET. -- Peter [MVP Academic]
Hello
First, I would agree with Peter. If your machine has not fully been cleaned from the Worm that hit your machine from 2002, I would strongly recommend to format and reinstall. The reason is, that there still could be files that are infected and may be causing other issues. Something to think about, is that right now you have the opportunity to shift your data to backup and then format and reinstall, where, you may run into an issue of the machine crashing and you not being able to shift your data to backup. 1. What operating system are you installing VS.Net 2003? 2. What happens if you double click on the Setup.Exe file, do you receive the same behavior or do you receive an error message? 3. If you are using Windows XP, what happens, if you clean boot the machine and then execute the installation? Here are some Microsoft Knowledge Base articles that may assist you. 319714 HOW TO: Troubleshoot Visual Studio .NET Installation http://support.microsoft.com/?id=319714 180129 Cannot Disable Shortcuts in StartUp Folder Using Msconfig Tool http://support.microsoft.com/?id=180129 281770 How to Perform Clean-Boot Troubleshooting for Windows 2000 http://support.microsoft.com/?id=281770 310353 How to Perform a Clean Boot in Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/?id=310353 Tim Macaulay, MCSD Microsoft Visual Studio Setup & Deployment This posting is "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
