When I try installing it, I get prompted for the prerequisite CD, shich is
normal. However, when I put that disk in and click OK, I a strange little
dialogue box pops up. The title bar says "InstallShield," and it's not an
error. Instead, the box contains command line flags of some sort. stuff
like "/L for languages" and "/S for silent mode," followed by an OK button.
When I click OK, the dialogue disappears and the installation process ends.
Same thing happens whenever I try. help pls

, what entries are added there . these message may helpfiguring  what is
going on.

Get hold of something like Process Explorer from the SysInternals web site
and see what the path to that running setup executable really is. I suspect
that there's something like an App Paths entry in the registry for setup.exe
(or whatever it's called) that is hijacking the actual setup.exe on the CD.

I'm having the same problem.  Process explorer is showing that it the VS
setup is actually running an old ATI video driver setup.

ATI\SUPPORT\5-7_xp-2k_dd_ccc_wdm_enu_24085\ACE\setup.exe

Any ideas on how to get rid of this?  Is it something left over in the
registry that somehow didn't get cleaned out?

Yes it's in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths. There
might also be one in HKCU.
