MSDN needs installed every time i visit MSDN site?!

Brian Henry

This is just wierd... if I go to the MSDN web site and try to view an
article like this...

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...classtopic.asp

the Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Archatect 2003 - English setup dialog box
pops up starts the installer process for VS.NET and then asks for the VS.NET
2003 cd because it needs to install something and is looking for the file
VS_SETUP.MSI that it cant find... I did a full install of VS.NET 2003 Ent
Arch. and MSDN libary full install (copied the whole thing to the HD) but
when ever i get documentation from inside VS.NET as a help topic it starts
this install process and does the same thing and when i go to the MSDN site
(duno why the web site wants to install this, seems strange) it asks for the
same thing also... ive done a few reinstalls of this computer and every time
i reinstall the os and VS.NET with the MSDN libary for help documentation
this same problem happens again! anyone know a fix? thanks! If i already
installed the MSDN libary... why does it need to again...especia ly when i
did a full installation of it!

I could be totally wrong but i don't think it's related to MSDN. I have a
similar problem. Next to VS.Net 2003 I still have a copy of VB 6.0 SP5
installed. Everytime I open the exe I starts up the installation script of a
trial version of paint shop pro i had once. I don't even have it anymore but
it still keeps popping up. Pressing cancel a couple of times is the only
thing that helps. I probably should try a format but I don't have much time
atm.

MSDN Universal subscription changes (level and pricing)

by: news.microsoft.com | last post by:

To Microsoft and fellow MSDN Universal subscribers... Regarding new MSDN Universal (I mean Premier) price and level changes: 1) Way too expensive for the small and medium developer Universal subscriber (and some large ones as well). $10,000 - $15,000 per user?!? Forget it! 2) Do you (MS) honestly believe that the market you are targeting will just buy this product on good faith? Without our recommendations? Think about

VS2005 wants FrontPage extensions, but theyre installed!?

by: musosdev | last post by:

Hi guys I'm trying to migrate to VS2005... I've managed to do that, but realised I'd opened my web projects as file projects, and I'm getting the error about network BIOS command limit. Anyway, I decided to have a go at loading them as web projects from our Win2k3 server. It gets so far and then says "The web server does not appear to have FrontPage server extensions installed".

distributing activex which needs installer

by: tuvman | last post by:

I just finished writing an activeX in .net. The ActiveX requires that various other COM components be installed before running. We found that IE already has a mechanism for running an installer if an ActiveX is not installed by using the codebase parameter. <object name="secondobj" style='display:none' id='TestActivex' classid='CLSID:A47C22B1-3CC3-45bc-801E-3FCC4FFD3E45' codebase='DownloadDeployer.cab#version=1,0,0,0'> </object>

Problem With Comparison Operator <=> in G++

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

by: Hystou | last post by:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
