I created myself a DVD from my MSDN subscription download (iso) of team
architect.

I named the DVD DVD1, I made sure that long filenames were supported etc.

While its installing Visual Studio 2005, it gets to a point and shows an
error:
Error 1305.Error reading from file d:\vs\program files\Microsoft Visual
Studio
8\v2.0\Bootstrapper\packages\windowsinstaller3_1\windowsinstaller-kb893803-v2-x86.exe.

This file is there on the dvd. What's up with this error?

Seems obvious and you may have tried it already, but I'd try burning
another dvd.

I have gone through so many DVDs its ridiculous.

I have a VPC image that is:
Windows Server 2003 SP1 with all security patches
Office Professional 2003 SP2

I've extracted the iso with WinRAR, ISOBuster and some other utility I can't
think of off the top of my head. ISOBuster did not give me the long file
names I was looking for so sI went to extracting with WinRAR. In my opinion,
Microsoft should have already shipped us the darn DVDs so we wouldn't have
to put up with this mess.

But I know how much my opinion really counts :-)

Thanks anyway.

Finally got it to work correctly by installing Daemon tools on the VPC image
and then mounting the .iso file as a hard drive.
