On Installing Visual Studio 2005 Professional

ross m. greenberg

Unfortunately, the On Line Concierge for MSDN was not able to solve my "ENU" problem -- but MSDN Tech Support was able to!

Basically this has been a problem that has since been resolved: the Visual Studio 2005 professional installation disk/DVD has two CD images on it, discs one and two. To solve the "ENU problem", copy it disc two from the DVD onto your desktop. Then open disc one off the DVD and control-a/select all and copy, then paste the buffer contents into the desktop copy on disk two. Then look for the Visual Studio setup program icon, right click on it and run as administrator. Visual Studio will now properly install. Now you must run SP1 of Visual Studio, found on MSDN DVD 4084.1: this will take a while. You're not done yet!

Now, run Windows Update, which will grab the Vista update for Visual Studio. Finally, Visual Studio will install, and run properly on Vista.

What a royal pain in the ass!
