Visual Studio .Net installation help

[Mr.S]

Dear ��Nilrem��

Before raising up the issues, please use the search engine on this forum and/or the web - you will be quite impressed with the volume of the information you can find.

1.Regarding the source from which you are downloading �Cthere is nothing wrong as all files are complete and in perfect condition.

2.Regarding your error:

ERROR: Error 1309.Error reading from file:...

All files do exist in source installation. Keep in mind that Microsoft Windows Explorer has limitation in creating folders (directories). If I recall, the limit is 254 characters. You have to decrease (or rename) your installation source path.

3.Regarding MSDN:
It doesn��t mater when you install - before or after.
If you install MSDN before VS, you can integrate it after you complete VS installation.
If you install after VS, during the MSDN installation process it will prompt you to integrate.
Also you can find some useful info about MSDN in:

3.Regarding your error:

Setup has detected that another program requires the computer..

There is no set answer for this - it can be caused by multiple issues.
