MSDN will not install

[domt]

Am moving fram VB6 to VB2005.
After installing VB.net I tried to install MSDN.
The first disk sent error message 1305 and said that file
eau_kbofficekb.hxs failed to install.
Assuming the file on the disc is corrupt, I checked with Microsoft but couldn't find it.
Can anyone help me on this?

CAUSE
This issue may occur if one of the following conditions are true:
• There is a configuration issue with the CD-ROM drive.
• The MDAC (Microsoft Data Access Components) is damaged or is not installed properly.
• There is an issue with the CD-ROM media. For example, the program CD-ROM is damaged or dirty.

Thanks for your response, but I'm at a loss as to what to do or how to go about resolvibg the problem.
Further attemps to run the disc gave notice that other files failed to copy or update :KB885836
KB892180
ENU_KBWINMISCH.hxs

Try copying the contents of the CD/DVD to a temp folder on C:\, and install from there.

Thanks for your suggestion, Chip.
I did as you suggested, but many files would not install.
Does anyone know a contact source at Microsoft that can help? I probably need new disks.

Try installing a compatible version of MSDN first; I think there is a check box on the VS install that asks to use MSDN for the help files. I never had luck installing any MS Office or earlier versions of VB without doing the MSDN install first.
