ballisticnylon Posted September 23, 2003 Posted September 23, 2003 I'm upgrading to Visual Studio .NET 2003 Professional, but I can't get past the first step in the installation. I run the first install disc, and click on the first step (install prerequisites), but I get the following error: Setup has detected that another program requires the computer to reboot. You must reboot the computer before installing Visual Studio .NET Prerequisites. Once the system reboots, you need to restart setup. Click OK to reboot. Click Cancel to exit setup and install later. But I'm doing all of this right after rebooting. I've scoured through Add/Remove programs and found one program (DiscinDisc2) that's having problems uninstalling due to a missing log file. I've done everything to resolve this issue so the install will work, including doing a system restore, to no avail. If anyone has experienced anything similar, or knows enough about Windows to suggest anything that will allow VS 2003 to install, I would be so grateful for any help. i'm really pulling out my hair on this one. Help me, .net gurus. You are my only hope.

ballisticnylon Posted September 23, 2003 Author Posted September 23, 2003 Basically, you know when you uninstall a program, and afterwords the uninstaller tells you you need to reboot at that point? The VS 2003 install thinks that another program has been uninstalled and needs the machine to reboot, and so it won't install until I reboot. But it does this even when I have just rebooted. Robby, what's the admin panel?

ballisticnylon Posted September 23, 2003 Author Posted September 23, 2003 I got it installed and working. :) I had uninstalled the program that I mentioned at the top of the thread, and later did a system restore to revert to the system settings of an earlier date. The uninstall had irrevokably deleted a log file that the program (which magically reappeared following the restore) needed to uninstall. I removed the program's files manually, the install worked, and I think my hair will grow back.
