visual studio .net setup : Install of vs2005 Pro edition

I just downloaded and burned to DVD Visual Studio 2005 February CTP --
Professional Edition (English). As I'm installing, it gets to "Microsoft
Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2" and gives me the message box, "Please insert the
disk: Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition Beta 2 -English Disk
1".

The DVD that I burned IS in the drive, but hitting OK only brings up the
message again. Should I have labeled the disk something specific? Or is
there another problem?

Thanks,

I may have found the problem. Seems the DVD structure is not quite correct.
If you copy everything (minus the MSDN folder) to your hard drive
(c:\vs2005\vs) then install from there, it works fine. To get the MSDN
installed, you do the same thing but put it in c:\vs2005\MSDN.

Hope this helps others.

You also have to modify the Setup.ini file in the VS folder. Change the MSDN
path to "..\MSDN".
