Hi all,

I've downloaded the Visual Studio Team Suite Beta 2 from MSDN Subscriber
downloads, and when installing, I'm getting the following error message
(it's most of the way through the installation of Visual Studio 2005):

Error 1310.Error writing to file:
Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.Resource.dll. Verify that you have
access to that directory.

Now, I definitely have access to everything on the machine (I've tried both
logged on through a domain account that has admin rights to the local
machine, and as the local machine administrator account), and I've also
tried this: http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;330733.

Unfortunately, the only options presented when this error occurs is to Retry
or Cancel.

Does anyone have any other ideas? I am really keen on getting this
installed and running.

Thanks,
Brendan Green.

Brendan,

We create some log files, and place them in the temporary directory. Can
you navigate there and send me the text files that are in there?

Start > Run and type %temp% and then click Ok.
Locate Text file, Compress and Send.

Another idea, would be to generate a filemon and/or regmon log and look for
ACCESS DENIED.

How to use Filemon and Regmon

1.    Please navigate to and download the tools listed:
    a.    FILEMON: http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/filemon.shtml
    b.    REGMON: http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/regmon.shtml
2.    Unzip the tools to there respective directories.
    a.    Close all applications down that you possibly can (so the log does
clutter to much).
    b.    Launch the Filemon executable.
    c.    Note the button that looks like a magnifying glass. (This is the
Capture On/Off button)
    d.    Launch the troubled installation
    e.    When the problem occurs please go to the Filemon tool.
    f.    Hit the Capture button to stop the logging process. (Now we have
captured the problem happening.)
    g.    From the File menu there is a save as option. (save the log as a txt
file)
    h.    Reboot the computer and repeat the above steps with Regmon. (run them
separately so we don't record the two tools processes.)

Hey Tim,

Thanks for the reply!

I actually got the thing working already, but the resources you mention
below will definitely come in handy at some point.

Cheers,
Brendan.

How did you fix it? I'm having the same problem. It's a clean machine
(Virtual PC, windows XP w/SP2).

Hi... Same problem here with Virtual PC & clean Windows 2000 Pro. Any
solutions?

I fixed it by copying the DVD contents to the hard drive and installing
from there. I also stopped most of the services that aren't needed.

Yes - this is what I also had to do.

To re-iterate, I extracted the contents of the ISO to the hard disk, and
then ran the installation from there - worked without a hitch.

I didn't bother about stopping any services, but that is not to say that you
should/should not do that as well.

Cheers,
Brendan.

I found I was getting an error on that file, so I tried to manually
copy it from the "virtualized" iso (via the Microsoft CDRom tool) on to
the desktop and I got a file I/O error.

I don't know whether this is an error in the CDRom tool or the iso
image, but I was able to pull it all off of the image and put it into a
directory on hard drive, which I then shared with the virtual PC and
then installed just from that and it worked fine.

annoying little issue there.
