I installed Visual Studio Pro 2005 from my MSDN CD's.  About 3/4 of the way
through disk two, I got the following error:

Error 1911.Could not register type library for file C:\Program Files\Visual
Studio 8\Common7\IDE\vsmacros.dll

I tried 'retry' a couple of times, then 'ignore'.  Setup went a little
further and then another error:

Error 1911.Could not register type library for file C:\Program Files\Visual
Studio 8\VC\vcpackages\VCProjectEngine.dll

Again, I hit 'retry' a couple of times, then 'ignore'.  Setup went a little
further and then got more errors, different filenames.  I thought that maybe
I had a bad CD, so I eventually hit 'abort'.  Setup then seemed to hang up
and not respond, so it didn't finish the rollback/uninstall.  I looked in
'add/remove programs' but it didn't show up, so I deleted the files in the
install directory manually.

Then I downloaded the DVD .iso version from my MSDN subscription area,
mounted the .iso and tried it again.  Same errors in the same spots.  This
time I just hit 'ignore' every time and let it finish the installation.  VS
will load, but any type of error during an installation, especially one where
I have to skip files, concerns me.  I also installed the MSDN Library off the
same mounted iso and also got a couple of 'could not read file' errors, but I
hit retry and and it completed installation.

This is on a Windows XP Pro 2003 machine that is a pretty new and clean
installation, in fact there isn't much else installed on this machine yet.  
It has plenty of RAM.  C Drive is running a little short on drive space,
right around 2GB free, but there is plenty of space on another drive, which
is where I was installing it to.

Any idea what would cause this or how I can fix it?  I really need to get
started working on this machine.  Any help will be appreciated.

Hi!
I am having the EXACT same problem, even with the exact same files and I
also have about 5 GB(4.8GB) on my C: drive and 26GB free on my secondary
drive (the one I'm installing VS 2005 - it's an EXT2 partition but I think it
has nothing to do with this).

I tried to extract the files from the ISOs to install them directly without
mounting the ISO, but I still have the errors installing. I don't care about
the errors, as long as VS works well. The problem is it doesn't!

I'm reinstalling it because it had a problem with the SQL Server, so I
thought it would get fixed by reinstalling VS.

Now, if I install VS and press the "Ignore" button, when I try to create a
.NET ASP Web Site, VS crashes...

As dean.carrefour said, does anyone have an idea on how to fix it?

Thank you in advance!

My problem turned out to be not enough drive space on drive C:.  Even though
I was installing to a different drive, I think the installation program
extracts files to the C: drive during installation.  I cleaned off 20GB of
drive space on C: and installed again, it worked perfectly.

Uninstall VS, clean off some drive space on C: and try the install again.  
Hope this helps.

I managed to install VS 2k5 by reinstalling windows (again)... It was a real
pain but then it worked....
