vb2005 express installation assistance

[prrm333]

I have made several attempts to install vb2005 express and so far cannot find any program installed. I have tried through download and using the .img file. I don't get any errors just that nothing gets installed.

I have tried the microsoft suggestions of removing and trying again but still nothing.

Any help would be appreciated.

You might want to search the system registry and delete any references to vb2005 express. Then try to reinstall the program.

Did you check the event logs for any errors???

Yes, I've had that problem as well trying to install using the offline edition.

If you can afford it, use the web install. Of course I have DSL, so it was pretty fast and simple for me.

Are you using DSL or Dial - Up.

After trying all of your suggestions, the registry, event logger, etc, I finally solved the problem. I downloaded the Windows Installer Clean Up tool from Microsoft. I ran it and used it to uninstall any reference to VB2005 express and SQL express and that did the trick. Thanks for the help.
