If you bought a retail box (support differs with licensing agreements, such
as Microsoft's corporate agreements) you can call Microsoft for free Setup
help.

Heres my scenario:
Reformatted, installed Win2003
Set up IIS 6 and Streaming Media services
Installed Office 2000, VS 6, SQL Server 2000
Installed VS.NET 2003
Attempted VS.NET 2002 and got the following warning (basicall)
Visual Studio .NET is not compatible with this version of Windows. Enable
ASP
and Frontpage Server Extensions.
The support link to do the ASP and FPSE enabling is
<A
HREF="http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q329473";>http:
//support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q329473</A>
It instructed me to do some configuration in the Web Service Extensions node
of the IIS manager, where I needed to add a new extension for the ASP.NET
v1.0.3705 and aspnet_isapi.dll of the same version. Since the 1.0 framework
is not
on the machine, I ran the windows component update portion of the VS.NET
2002
installation, then did as the Q article suggested. I also had to set a MIME
type for .tmp extensions, text/plain in the HTTP Headers portion of the web
site properties.
Attempted to install again and the same warning came up, I chose to ignore
them and proceed, the setup rolled back after about 75% completion.
I've also tried installing VS.NET 2002 on another Win2003 machine before
installing VS2003 but the same warning comes up, even after doing as the Q
sugges
ted.
So, if you have a good routine that works for you, please post the steps.
Ron
