Hmmm - still no luck! I've installed VS2010 onto the VM (which used to be our prototype server before CCNet went live) and everything started working fine.
Looks like I'm just going to have to clean down the live CCNet server to free up and space and do a minimal installation (I only installed VB, C# and the Visual Web Developer options onto the VM). The underlying issue here is that our servers are mainly VMs that run on a single virtualisation server and when the Infrastructure guy spun off a Server 2003 instance he did so with a 10GB C: drive (which cannot be increased afterwards apparently) and a 20GB E: drive (which can be increased as required). The problem is that when any of the Microsoft installers ask you for a location to install the software it still the bulk of it on the damn C: drive anyway (why does it ask!?). The result is that we have filled the system drive and now have little room to move. Looks like I'm going to have to ask for a new server instance to be spun up with a larger system drive (20GB?) and migrate the builds over to it. I'm still going to look into getting a VM building our ASP.NET Websites and Web Applications without the need to install Visual Studio but I don't hold out much hope to be honest.
