- If you are installing Visual Studio .NET from a CD-ROM, copy the

contents of the CD-ROM to your hard disk, and then start the

installation from the hard disk.

- If you have more than one CD-ROM drive, try to start the installation

of Visual Studio .NET from a different CD-ROM drive.

- Make sure that the CD-ROM drive can read the data correctly from the

installation CD-ROM.

- If you try to run Setup from a shared

CD-ROM drive over a network to other computers, the installation may fail.

Copy the setup files to a hard disk, and then run Setup from the hard disk

over the network.
