Starting VS.NET 2003

When I start VS 2003 it takes ages to start. It loads the
licence information screen and a form appears that
has 'Please wait while Windows configures MSDN Library-
October 2003 DVD' the progressbar goes all the way across
and starts again and only goes half way across. this
stays for several minutes before VS 2003 continues to
load.

Is there something that I can do to get round this little
problem?

That should have only happened the first time after installing MSDN.

Hi James,

Thanks for posting.

Based on my past experience, this issue may be caused by Office. Let's try
the following:

1. Rename the file "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\Office10\MSO.DLL"

2. Start VS.Net and let VS.Net to finish the repair process

Please give it a try and see whether this helps or not.

Hi Felix,

Sorry for the delay in replying but I got involved in
another project and did not have the time to try your
suggestion.

I have now tried it and it worked.

Thinking back on the cause. I installed Office 2003,
except Outlook because I was writing a program that used
outlook 2002 and I did not want to confuse the issue. I
then loaded MSDN October and everything was fine. I have
since added Outlook 2003 and that was when it all went
wrong. There should be a warning on the packet!

Thank you for your advice.
