I am trying to install VS.NET 2002 Academic on a new laptop that has the .NET 1.1 framework installed. I insert disk 1 into my drive and it spins for a few seconds then nothing happens. No setup dialog or nothing. I open the drive window and click on the setup.exe file, and the same thing happens; nothing! I disabled my Norton AV auto-protect and closed my firewall software, and still the same thing. If anyone has any ideas, feel free to let me know. If it comes down to it, I can upgrade to VS 2003 (or wait for '04, whenever that might be!) but I would prefer not to spend the extra $$$.

Have you confirmed that the CD (or DVD, or whatever) drive in this new
laptop operates correctly? Has it successfully autostarted and installed
software on other CD's?
What's the source of you Visual Studio CD's? Retail or MSDN download/burn? I
ask because if your drive is OK, it sounds like it could be a bad or damaged
CD.
AFAIK, the fact that you have the .NET Framework v1.1 installed should not
impact installation of Visual Studio .NET 2002, but you could try
uninstalling v1.1 and see if that helps as a last resort.
 
The drive is fine. I have installed other software. And the disks are
fine also. I installed it on my old laptop using the same disks. And
stored them properly.
 
Hi Roger,

I know you said that you installed it on your old laptop with the same
discs, but from your description it sounds like this was some time ago. It
might be worth trying the discs on another computer that has never has
VS.NET installed to confirm whether or not the issue is with the discs or
your new machine.
