Hi all -- I'm a bit behind here, but I blame it on computer constraints... Ihave now moved the more voluminous files off my main hard drive and so can concentrate more on setting up Visual Studio. My question is: I downloaded the .ISO file containing VS express version from Microsoft about a month ago, but due to a defect in my laptop's DVD burner, I could not burn the ISO to disk. There are 5 files waiting to be written. Nevertheless, I went ahead and installed it anyway to see whatwould happen. I got Visual C# and C++ with no complaints, but I am concernedthose 5 files are important. UltraISO creates an e: drive containing the virtual image of the ISO. I have no idea what is going on under the table during the installation process. Does the software actually install thosemissing 5 files as if they were on the disk? (After all, they are in a knownplace on the hard drive...) Details, details... Am I in for an unpleasant surprise if I run VS without doing something? If so, how can I avoid it? This laptop has been a gem, but I have run into problems before with thisDVD drive. I can't even play some music CDs in it because the scanner won'tgo all the way to the edge of the disk. I should have known that the big rebate I got when I bought this thing was too good to be true -- I got what I paid for... Ideas welcome. Thanks. --le __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
