I am trying to install MS Visual Studio .NET 2003 Enterprise Architect from
a MSDN DVD. The problem is that I cannot change the destination folder. The
"Local Path" dropdown list and text box are disabled. When I select ".NET
Framework SDK", the "..." button appears allowing to change the path for
that component only. I tried <setup.exe INSTALLPATH="D:\Msvc71"> with no
success. Apparently being an architect is not enough to be allowed to change
the destination folder.

Thanks.
 
Check googlenews for bits about MSDN (docs) installed
location against trying to install vs7.

Googlenews new to you? It has a search that lets
you search things on microsoft* newsgroups as you
could search web sites. One's for newsgroups, one
for web sites. The same, only different. 99% crap,
but what do you expect? That's the internet.
 
Thanks for your reply. I did read readme.html and installation notes and
searched google web & news, but I could not spend the rest of my life
filtering out 99% crap.

At last I created a junction point in the default folder pointed to another
drive. That's when I figured out that the problem was perhaps because I had
the latest MSDN Library library installed for .NET 2002. I didn't have time
to uninstall and install MSDN once again.

Cheers.
