Setup is being done from MSDN issue DVD - Disc 3070.1 April 2007.

The process eventually asks for another disk which I don't have.
"Please insert the disk: Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition -
ENU Disk 1" OK/Cancel

No option to browse the DVD. If I select OK, it keeps displaying the prompt.
If I Cancel, it rolls back the installation and VS2005 does not install.

ANY IDEAS?

The solution is :

- copy the installation DVD in your hard drive
- copy the content of English\VS2005Pro\DISK2 into English\VS2005Pro
\DISK1 (merge the folders)
- launch English\VS2005Pro\DISK1\setup.exe

Thanks Microsoft ....
