I downloaded the ISO image from MSDN Subscribers.
I computed the hash and it's correct, so the ISO image is good.
I expanded it with Winrar on HDD (c:\VS2005 so it's a short path) and began
installing it.
The PC is a Win2K3 on which no beta has ever been installed.
On the same machine there are working VS6 and VS2003 installations, platform
sdk, ddk and variouos developer tools.

I tried also the full install but setup always fails with this error:
Error 1335.The cabinet file '_14310_VC80_PDB_WINSXS_CRT_x86.msm' required
for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a
network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this
package.

Followed by:
The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package.
This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2350.

That file is not present in the ISO image at all (but the image is good).
I tried to expand the ISO image with another tool but the total size (and
numbers) of the expanded files are the same.

Since that msm file contains PDBs, I suppose there is an install condition
in the MSI file that triggers the installation of the msm. I looked into it
with Orca with no luck in understanding that condition.

Any ideas?

Hello mixfix <mixfix@newsgroups.nospam>,
Error 1335 indicates component corruption or a copying error in the installation. I have not tried winrar to extract iso before, but
personally, I prefer using Daemon Tools (downloaded from following page) to mount the iso image, and use the virtual disc to
install vs2005.
http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/download.php
So far, it works fine for me, and I would like to recommend you to give Daemon Tools a try.

Please let me know if Daemon tools helps you solve this problem. If there is any more I can assist, please feel free to let me
know.

Hi Rhett,
thanks, it worked.

But I have a question for you. After mounting the volume, I looked for the
missing msm, and it's still missing!
Now, is it possible to know what's triggering the installation (i.e. the
setup confition) of that msm file?
As I said before I found that msm filename in the msi file (using Orca) so
it should not be a corruption problem.

I just want to understand. Thanks again.

Thank for your feedback, I am glad to know it works for you.

msm is the MSI merging module, it seems that winrar also extracts it from msi package, and later installer can't find the module in the builtin "path". I don't have further
knowledge on MSI, so I am not sure what cause the problem exactly.

> Error 1335. The cabinet file _14310_VC80_PDB_WINSXS_CRT_x86.msm ... is

corrupt.

I had the identical problem as mixfix when installing Visual Studio 2005,
Standard Edition, Part No.x31 45579. I am installing from a newly purchased
distribution CD. I get the same error if I copy everything to a hard drive.
I don't have an ISO image.

I do not see the file on the CD. Any suggestions on how to get a copy, and
where it belongs?
