.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / Setup / February 2005VB.Net install failure - help
I've tried installing VB.Net 2003 standard on Win XP (with SR2). When I put in the prerequisite disk as requested, I get the installshield for hydravision (in spanish). I've removed hydravision, run norton to clean up the registry, run checkdisk to clean up any x-linked files and the same thing happens. If I accept the install, I can't progress further with the visual basic .net installation, and neither can I progress if I cancel the install of hydravision. Any help appreciated. (Hope I haven't just paid big bucks for a non-working program.) It's okay now, I followed someone's suggestion in another thread to avoid the need to load the prerequisites (can't remember, but anyone else who has a problem like this wierd one, can probably find the solution by doing a search in this thread). Given the number of people who have this problem, must be a bug in the setup files. Hopefully will be fixed in future updates. Mim > I've tried installing VB.Net 2003 standard on Win XP (with SR2).

This fix was posted for a similar problem and may well work for you. <quote> Seems that Windows is running what is defined in App Paths for "setup.exe" Judging by the error that you are getting, Windows is running <system32>\setup.exe instead of the setup.exe from the CD. Open regedit and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\Setup.exe Double click on the default value and clear the value data. It should now be blank. This should clear up your problem and allow you to install VS. </quote> Hope this helps.  SignaturePeter [MVP Visual Developer] Jack of all trades, master of none. Just to let you know the info worked great. I loaded VB.net with no problems. Thanks alot. > >> I've tried installing VB.Net 2003 standard on Win XP (with SR2).
