Hi,
I am trying to install Visual Studio .NET for a week now. I installed
the IIS and the FrontPage Server Extension and I also check my
environnement variables for the TEMP directory. Everything look fine.
Every time I click on step one of the installation I am asked to reboot
my machine because of a software that need it. Are there any others options?

Thank you in advance
JS

John,

This is normally caused by something that is stuck in the PendingReboot
key. If you would like to contact me directly, I can provide you a tool
that may assist in discovering what is there causing the issue.

You could also, browse the contents of the Prerequisites CD and install
each individual item seperatly. Keep in mind, based on the operating
system, that you may not need all of the Prerequisities.

Cheers,
