Problem installing vs 2003 sp1

Hi

I have downloaded the VS7.1sp1-KB918007-X86.exe file but when I try to
install it, it runs for a while and asks for license confirmation etc. but
then comes up with a dialog asking for the location of vs_setup.exe file. I
have searched the drives but have not been able to locate the vs_setup.exe.
What is the problem and how can I fix it?

Thanks

Regards

John,
It's looking for your original installation media (CD, DVD etc.).

You must already have installed VS 2003,
if you want to be able to apply VS 2003 SP1.

You also need the original CD/DVD you used to install VS 2003,
and you must supply it when prompted for it.

As others have mentioned, you need your setup disk to install, but I thought
I'd add a solution to a pitfall we ran into. If you originally installed from
CD and only have access to the DVD MSDN setup disk then you won't be able to
install the service pack. The way round is to locate the registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Prod ucts\<installId>\SourceList\Media

(where <installIdis the id of visual studio .net, for the installations I
found it was 9040F50EA9E01A84CA403EE5033306A4)

And change the value "MediaPackage" to "\\ENGLISH\\VS.NET2003\\"

Seemed to work for us.
