Thanks to all who took the time to reply and for the advice. Heres what I did.
On a clean machine with Win2003 Added IIS 6 (enable ASP.NET and Frontpage Extensions) and Streaming Media Services Installed Office2K, VS6, Sql Server 2000 Installed .NET Framework v1.0.3705 (from Windows Component Update portions) Open IIS manager, click the Web Service Extensions node, click "Add Service Extension" under Tasks Enter "ASP.NET v1.0.3705" for Extension Name Click "Add..", Browse to Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\ and select "aspnet_isapi.dll" Click Ok Right click "Web Sites" node in IIS Manager, open Properties Select HTTP Headers tab, click MIME Types, add New and enter ".tmp" for extension, "text/plain" for MIME type Close IIS manager Run Setup.exe for VS.NET 2002, ignore all warning messages about incompatibility. The installation succeeded with no errors, IDE appears to be running fine so far. One more thing though, in the setup configuration for VS, I chose not to install Crystal Reports services, or MSDE desktop engine. I imagine the key factors were following the steps above and installing VS2002 before installing VS2003. Thanks again, Ron
