I am attempting to load the academic version of Visual Studio .NET 2003 from
MSDNAA onto my computer.
My machine is running WindowsXP and has been updated with Service Pack 2.
The installation process says that some prerequisites must first be loaded.
Upon doing that process everything went fine except the attempt to load IIS
(Internet Information Service).
After several attempts to solve the problem, things have boiled down to the
following:
When attempting to use the "Install optional Windows components" from the
Microsoft Windows Professional CD to install Internet Information Services
(IIS) with the "FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions" selected, the following
message appears:
"Please insert the Compact Disc labeled Windows XP Professional Service Pack
2 CD"
It appears that the installation of Service Pack 2 has broken the ability to
load IIS from the Windows XP Profesional CD that I have.
No one at the University has such a Service Pack 2 CD. We had Service Pack
2 pushed over the network to our machines. There is a file named
WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe that can be used to install Service Pack2, but
no one knows how to make the presence of that file help respond to the prompt
for the Service Pack 2 CD.
How can I proceed with the Visual Studio .NET installation?
