Hello,

I recently installed a copy of Visual Basic .NET on my computer. However, when I attempted to install the MSDN Library, I got the following error:

Error 1305.Error reading from file: D:\Program Files\MSDN\2003JAN\1033\_vsmsdnloc.hxq. Verify that the file exists and that you can access it.

After poking around, I noticed that the installation program was installing into the 2003FEB directory instead. Unfortunately, there was no obvious method to redirect the installation process, or point it to the correct directory. Does anyone know of this problem, and how to fix it?

Thanks!
Scott

Two things,

1. 1305 could be a sign of bad media.
2. 2003Feb will not work with the vsnet2003 product internally.

Your best bet is to contact Microsoft Product Support.

Cheers,
