Hello All,

I'm facing a very strange and frustrating problem with Visual Studio Enterprise installation on my Windows XP SP2 and SP3 machines. I never faced this problem before and have no clue whatsoever why this is happening!

When I insert Disk 1 of installer and proceed with installation, the setup goes well till "Setup is searching for installed components". At this stage, the borderless modal window showing this message flashes once and nothing happens thereafter. The installer stops responding and soon I see "(Not Responding)" in the title bar of installation window.

It's a fresh installation of Windows XP since I had to format my Hard Drive; so there is no question of having any other Visual Studio installed on my machine. I've no clue whatsoever why this is happening and no good help is there online to resolve this issue. Just for your information, no other Microsoft Visual Programming language is installed on this machine ... no .Net or Framework or nothing else.

I badly need your help to resolve this issue as I need to make it to work at earliest. Please share your thoughts on this issue so then I can get it to work!

Eagerly waiting for your reply ...

Best Regards,

Ruturaaj.
