I have problems installing VS2005 on Windows XP professional. I
installed it on to D:\ProgramFilesD.
There are 12 GB free disk space in D drive. I logged on as
administrator to install VS2005.

The following are some error logs that I suspect causing the problems.

1. The following volumes do not have enough disk space for the
installation

2. DepCheck indicates Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Professional
Edition - ENU is not installed.

3. Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition - ENU: [2]
ERROR:Error 1303.The installer has insufficient privileges to access
this directory: C:\Config.Msi. The installation cannot continue. Log
on as administrator or contact your system administrator.

The following is the error log, please help.

I am very disappointed with the Visual Studio software. In the past,
I encountered many problems with the older version of MS Visual Studio
(.Net and .Net 2003), especially relating to IIS problems. In the
end, I had to resort to reformating my PC, to make it works. Now
VS2005 has been released, I thought it should have ironed out all this
irritating problems. Looks like, I have to do the same thing for the
VS2005. i.e. reformat the PC. Just look at the tremendous amount of
time spent in making it works! sucks!

Alex:

Are you installing vs 2005 OR vs 2005 sp1? If it's the latter, please see my
posting on this forum. Hope it helps.

Yes, I agree with your perception; I do not see too many postings from
Microsoft people anymore.
