Now I cna't install VS .NET 2003, I'm wondering if I should have done what I
did.
Too late, I know!

When I try to install VS .NET 2003 (from the MSDN CD 2082) it highlights the
prerequisites and disables all theother options.
So I click on the prerequisites and it does nothing but tell me "Setup has
detected that another program requires the computer to reboot"

When I reboot it doesn't fix the problem, I trz again to install, and it
repeats the message.
What have I done wrong?

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this problem, use any one of the following methods:


- Restart your computer, and then run the Visual Studio .NET Setup
program.

- Run the Setup program that is included on the Windows Component
Update CD instead of the Setup program that is included on Visual
Studio .NET CD1. After Windows Component Update has completed, run the
Visual Studio .NET Setup program that is included on Visual Studio .NET
CD1.

- Prevent your computer from restarting by removing registry
information about packages that require your computer to restart. To do
this,
follow these steps.

Warning If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious
problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system.
Microsoft
cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using
Registry
Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

1. Manually rename the PendingFileRenameOperations registry entry. To do
this, follow these steps:


a. Click "Start", and then click "Run".

b. In the "Open" box, type "regedit" (without the quotation marks), and
then click "OK" to start
Registry Editor.

c. In Registry Editor, locate and then click the
following registry subkey:



HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager

d. Under "Name" in the right pane of
Registry Editor, rename the

PendingFileRenameOperations
registry entry.

2. Verify that the following registry subkey is
empty:



HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

3. Verify that the following registry subkey is
empty:



HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx
