VS.NET 2003 installation wrongly with VS.NET 2002 key

Hi, all,

A strange problem. Don't know if anybody met it before or have a
solution.

I installed VS.NET 2002 before. Then I uninstalled VS.NET 2002 and
install VS.NET 2003. The problem is when it prompts me to enter the
product key, I entered the product key of VS.NET 2002. But the
validation passed and the installation process continued.

After installation, did I find that VS.NET 2003 cannot be started. It
will prompt "Please enter a valid product key to use this product -
setup has detected that the product key is missing or invalid. ...".
I click OK, then it will terminate. Then Windows Installer dialog box
comes out, but it will be closed in several seconds too. It doesn't
prompt me to re-enter the correct product key.

Now I know I should enter the VS.NET 2003 product key in the beginning
of the installation. But my colleagues said it will prompt you to
insert VS.NET 2002 CD in the process so the CDs are put together and
caused I to make the stupid mistake. I think I can try to uninstall
and install it again. But I wonder if there is a solution without
such a trouble.

Does anybody have any idea or hint?

Thanks!
Ming Zhu

I have a multiboot system with VS .NET 2002 Pro and VS .NET 2003 Pro installed in separate bootable systems. I installed VS .NET 2003 on 21 August 2003, but have used mostly VS .NET 2002 since then. When I get Office 2003 and VSTO, then I'll start using VS .NET 2003. Today, I had a reason to try upgrading a VB 6 project to VS .NET 2003, so I rebooted to the OS with VS .NET 2003. I double clicked the .VBP file and VB 6 started, but so...

Does anybody have a decent solution for the "Compiler could not be created" error message that appears when starting VS.NET 2003? I've got a side-by-side installation with VS.NET 2002. VS.NET 2002 works fine. VS.NET 2003 can't open any project due to the above error. I've reinstalled Framework 1.0. No change. I've reinstalled Framework 1.1. No change. I've reinstalled VS.NET 2003. No change.

Hi all, 1) I have used VC++.NET 2002 (v7.0) for a while. Recently I just installed VC++.NET 2003 (v7.1) - I saw the message "Settings were not migrated from Visual Studio.NET 2002 to Visual Studio,NET 2003" during the installation. Do I have to do the migration of the "Settings" if I want to use the both versions of VC++.NET in the Side-by-Side fashion? 2) I ran the "Build" of the example 'Chapter5_Example1' of 'Beginning DirectX 9' by...

Hi. When I try to run Visual Studio 2003 I get the message "MS development environment is not installed for the current user. Please run setup to install the application." Is there any way to work around this without reinstalling VS 2003? Also, can VS 2003 and VS 2005 coexist?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...
