Help Please...with Visual Studio .Net Professional 2003 inestall

[Guest]

I am trying to install Visual Studio .Net Professional 2003 on XP
Professional and I am running under an Administrator profile user.

When I start the .Net Disk 1 setup, the .Net Setup window opens and the
"Step 2 - Visual Studio .Net" option is available and the other 3 are dimmed.

When I click it dims and begins to run, but then I get a 4 message boxes
"Wrong command line parameter: /Launcher=C:\DOCUME~1\Al\LOCALS~1\Temp\"
"Wrong command line parameter: /Step=3"
"Wrong command line parameter: /HWND=917756"
"Wrong command line parameter: /NoExclude"
And then the setup just shuts down

Are my Environment Variables wrong?

I have searched for days...obviously in vain!!!
If someone can help me in my dire staights, I would be totally grateful!!!
Thanks.

Go to start/run, and type %TEMP% If this is not your profile temp folder, change it.

Thank you for your reply. I checked the %TEMP% and the value is correct:

%UserProfile%\Local Settings\Temp

This is also the value of my TMP user variable, and the TMPDIR user variable
contains: %TMP%

Where I am confused on is, apparently the install script is running from the
Visual Studio .Net 2003 installation disk, so why would it be encountering
its own "wrong command line parameter"?

Would you have any more suggestions for me?
Thanks again.

is this a genuine VS.Net CD (ie, w/ hologram), or a copy? It sounds like
the CD has an answer file on it; is it a copy of a network install folder
from your workplace? Ask your work admin guys (girls?) how you should go
about using that installer to set up your home machine. They may just let
you borrow the orignal CDs that they got w/ their site licence.

Thank you for trying to assist me, but yes, this is the original genuine MS VS.Net 2003 4-disk setup pack with the holograms. It is just that no matter what I try...I keep getting these errors. I uninstalled my Norton Personal Firewall, and Now after the 4 error messageboxes, I now get a Installation Setup messagebox which says,

"The installation program cannot find the script file in which all of the
instructions required for the installation have been saved.

The file was looked for in the following directory. D:\setup.inf"

The installation program cannot be executed without this file, it will now
be terminated."

Thanks again Mark. I tried all the procedures from the MS support HB article you gave me. And I uninstalled my Norton Personal Firewall. But now after the 4 error messageboxes, I now get a Installation Setup messagebox which says,

"The installation program cannot find the script file in which all of the
instructions required for the installation have been saved.

The file was looked for in the following directory. D:\setup.inf"

One wild guess is that the root folder of the drive has reached its limit of files/folders. Try saving another few files to the D:\
root to test.
