I am trying to install VS 6.0 on a Win2K machine with the latest updates.
Setup hangs at the point where it says ""setup is searching for installed
components". I am forced to CTRL-ALT-DEL to shut down setup. I have removed
everything VS, VS.NET, and MSDN related from the computer. I have done the
manual uninstall to ensure everything is gone, wiping all the registry
entries and so on. I have tried installing in safe mode and installing from
the hard drive. I cannot get past this point in the setup process. I would
very much appreciate any help.
I am still trying to get this resolved. Here is the log file generated by
the command line setup suggested in article Q192392. It seems to be
hanging at the line: Object 3 - VssAppSrch - called

Hi I am having exactly the same problem. How did you resolve it ?
the setup log is the same that i have and the installation hangs just at the same point.
I have searched everywhere, cleaned up registies etc all to no help.
I would be glad if you can help me out.
Cheers
