Hi

I have been trying to install VS 2003 Enterprise Architecture to my D drive
but when I install I cannot change the target location. The option for
changing the location is disabled.

I am running XP Prof SP1 and I do not have the disk space available on my C
drive.

Could someone please tell me how I can get the setup to allow me to change
the location for the installation.

Thank you for this. I followed the directions and I was able to change the
location. It looks as if someone installed VS 2003 on this machine before I
got hold of it.

Thanks
Mick

Any previous versions, trials, betas still installed? This symptom usually
occurs when the installer detects what it thinks is an existing
installation. If you have any of the above, uninstall (including any .NET
Framework installations, v1.1). If you've attempted the install before and
aborted, you may have to follow these instructions to manually remove stuff
left behind.
