    Setup installation looks for unrelated CD

    Hi folks.

    I'm having a headache installing a particular setup.exe(Setup BootStrap
    for Visual Basic Setup Toolkit). When I double-click on the setup.exe,
    it keeps asking me for a CD that is totally unrelated to the program that I am installing.

    I believe this is because of some files being left behind when I unsuccessfully install that CD(the unrelated CD).

    Anyone who is good in removing orphan Visual Basic Setup files kindly assist me.

    Btw, I've tried using RegSeeker and CCleaner to clean up the registry but still the problem persists.

    Thanks for the assistance.

    What is the Setup BootStrap for Visual Basic Setup Toolkit? I have never heard of it. Are you refering to PDW???

    From the website of http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...tuplstfile.asp

    The Setup Toolkit is a project installed with Visual Basic that is used by the Package and Deployment Wizard when it creates a setup program. The Setup Toolkit project contains the forms and code that the application's setup program uses to install files onto the user's computer.

    Yup, I guz it is PDW:Package and Deployment Wizard .

    Any ideas how to remove the orphan files of my last unsuccessful installation?

    itgalsg,

    No idea. Why not just use an up-to-date installer? They do that automatically.
