I had to copy the three install CDs to my HD and return the CD to school(MSDN
software checkout program). I tried opening the I am getting an error
before I even start:

*VISUAL STUDIO .NET SETUP*
"Setup was unable to copy the file C:\VBdontnet\Disk
1\ProgramFiles\Microsoft Visual Studio . NET
2003\Setup\SetupMM\setup\DeleteTemp.exe to your temporary directory. Please
make sure that this file exists and rerun setup."

All three disks were copied in the file VBdotnet in separate files I called
Disk 1, 2, and 3.

I tried to set the read only status to off, both in my user Local
Settings\Temp and in C:\Windows\Temp. Neither one will stay off. Every time
I reopen the Temp file it has reverted to Read Only again.

I am trying to get this going by starting the setup.exe file from
CD1-Program Files-Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003-Setup-SetupMM. Is this
the right starting point?
Am I hopelessly lost? I don't think they will check out the disks to me
again.

Thanks for any help you can give

also- winXP, SP 2, 1.0 GHz, 12 GB free on OS HD, 2x20GB on another HD, 512
MB . I don't have the .NET framework installed on this one yet. I can't
find an .exe which looks like the Prerequisites a couple of other posts
mentioned. But then, I can't get past the temp file thing anyway.

As you've mentioned that you did not get the Prerequisites CD?, and you have
copied three CD images to your local hard drive, I believe you need to see
about getting the *complete set* of CD's checked out to you again.
The reason I make this comment is that, as a MSDNAA Administrator, I know
that you *should* have received (or received instructions to access) the
following for Visual Studio .NET 2003 Professional Edition:
Visual Studio CD's #1 and #2
The Prerequisites CD
Three MSDN CD's containing help documentation. (These may have been made
available separately. Ask!)
I suggest that you approach your MSDNAA Administrator, explain that you did
not get the product installed on your PC within the allotted time, and that
you need to install the product for classwork. Personally, I cannot imagine
any MSDNAA Administrator not wanting to help. That's what the program is
(supposed to be) all about, helping students.
