visual studio .net setup: I'm having problem getting VS .NET 2003 Academic getting installed again. I had it installed initially on this machine without a problem previously, but a very nasty problem with another piece of installed software forced me to do a System Restore. So I'm now in the process of re-installing everything back onto my computer. For some reason the installation stops when it tries to read one file from Disc 2, and the installation always stops here.

Here's the Error Log report:

[02/01/04,11:46:26] Visual Studio .NET Academic 2003 - English: [2] ERROR: Error 1305.Error reading from file: e:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\CompactFrameworkSDK\v1.0.5000\Windows CE\wce300\x86\netcf.core.ppc3.x86.cab. Verify that the file exists and that you can access it.

I think the problem may be with the disc itself, as I had successfully installed this previously on the same machine beforehand. Any help ASAP or a workaround would be great as I have a project to start and finish by the end of the week.
