I have successfully installed vs2005 on two machines -- when setting up
a third however I get an error installing the document explorer here is
the log file ~ the lines that fail. I tried repairing the framework
install and reinstalling the msi hotfix, no luck.

I can't find any info on the error 'Cannot get the temp filename' if
indeed that is what is causing the install failure.

Answer:

Some time ago I changed the location of my TEMP directory on this
machine due to diminishing disk space.

Everything has worked fine for almost a year.

After trying everything else I changed the TEMP directory back to the
default %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\TEMP and VOILA! the installation of
VS.NET 2005 succeeds.
