Installation Problems

[woohahee]

I can't install VisualSudio.net (Enterprise Architect) - I have the disks and I have installed all the Windows Components a number of times but it always fails after I have placed the 4th disk in. I have noticed on a number of sites it tells you to reinstall the entire system (i.e. format c drive and start again) but I'm kind of hoping that there is an easier soloution than that.

I'm trying to install VisualSudio.net on a Windows 2000 operating system.

I get the following error log:

Please help as I have been trying to install this for ages.

Many thanks,

I've found that the VS.NET installer is very picky.

You might try reapplying the latest Windows Service Pack. Otherwise you're looking at a format/reinstall.
