UPDATE on my post: I found a MS TechNet article
(
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;318945) that
suggested that such corrupt cab file errors could be corrected by installing
a new DVD driver. A new driver was installed but I still got the same error
when installing Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2. So a new DVD drive was installed
in my PC and, finally, the Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 installed successfully.
