I downloaded the .iso file of "VS 2005 Beta1 Refresh with Team System" from
MSDN. Iam trying to install this on Win XP SP1 running on Virtual PC 2004.
Since I don't have a DVD burner, I mounted the .iso image as a virtual drive
(using Virtual CD control panel utility) and ran the installation. Iam
running the installation from admin account, disabled Norton Anti-Virus &
Internet Security and, while installing VS 2005, I get this error :
"ERROR:Error 1311.Source file not found: z:\vs\_13124_SdmModels.msm.cab.
Verify that the file exists and that it is accessible".

The file "_13124_SdmModels.msm.cab" does exist and Iam able to view the cab
file's contents from explorer. So, I don't understand why this should happen.
Is it that VS 2005 can only be installed from a DVD/CD and not from a virtual
drive ?

As suggested in a different posted, I extracted all the files to a network
drive using ISOBuster and tried the installation. This time also the
installation failed !

The error message was "The installer encountered an unexpectd error
installing the package. The error code is 2337".

Is there anything else I can do other than re-downloading the package ?

Problem solved. Posting the solution so that others may find it useful.

Did a brand new install of Win XP SP1 on VPC 2004. Extracted the VS.Net 2005
Beta1 package (not the "refresh" package) to a shared drive on VPC using ISO
buster and, the installation went fine.

I think my previous installation of Win XP on VPC was corrupted since I had
the vs.net express edition on it and removed it before proceeding with the
installation of vs.net 2005 beta1.
