The installation process for Visual Studio 2005 prompts ' Please insert the disk: Visual Studio 2005' everytime when I try to install VS2005. This is what I did: * Downloaded VS 2005 from the MSDN members download site.
File name: en_vs_2005_pro_dvd.iso (size=2,825,748 KB) * Used MagicISO tool to unpack the files * Used Nero 6 to write the extracted files to the DVD * Created a brand new Virtual PC with Windows XP + SP2 * Start the install process in the VPC by clicking on the setup.exe in vs on the dvd * Select the default installation options * Installation starts for a long time and then prompts: Please insert the disk: Visual Studio 2005' The screen show: Installing Components: Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Directory: Visual Studio 2005 Professional edition - ENU File: htmllite.dll What am I doing wrong? I have retried the process 3 times with the same results. Regards, Joginder Nahil.
Afer reading each response thread, I realize the prolem is not with installation, rather, it is with creating a DVD with VS 2005 on it. VS 2005 installed the first time on my work PC & home. I used UltraISO to extract the files, and ran a full install. Everything's great. However, my first attempt at creating a VS 2005 DVD was using ISOBuster, then UltraISO. I thought the problem was caused during extraction. If I was able to install to two separate machines using the same data without errors, then how could the same data on a DVD fail?
None-the-less, after making 4 new beautiful coasters, my next attempt will be makeing two separate DVD's 1) the first DVD will be labeled DVD1 (which is the MSDN directory) 2) the seconde DVD will be labeled DVD2 (which is the vs directory) Stay tuned. (by the way, I used to prefer ISOBuster, but I must say that UltraISO is very easy to use with a rich UI) Kind regards, Greg Cadmes MCP Extron Electronics.

Hi ken, You are a star!
I want to install Visual studio 2005 and i got an.ISO file. How to expand this file to install this program. Sunday, September 03, 2006 3:24 PM. Very helpful I was wondering if I could get an easy tool that could let me install Visual Studio 2008 ISO without burning it first to a DVD.
I took your advice. Searched the web for Virtual CD, installed it, mounted the Visual Studio 2005 ISO file on another machine on my local network.
I used the mounted drive to instal VS20005 and bingo. Installed 1st time. Before that, like you suggested, I used Nero to make the DVD direct;y from the ISO file but had the same sort of problems when I tried to install from it.
I had spend many many hours trying to install VS2005. You advice was invaluable. Thanks a lot. Because of this I will happy to let you have any of my products as a gift.

I have the same problem with VS2005 Pro.
I created the DVD as described in VS/readme.htm. During the installation it asks for ENU Disk 1. Changing the DVD volume label to DVD1 doesn't help. When I change the label to VSPROD1 the installation process goes longer, but then asks for ENU Disk 2. What is the disk label to use for DVD installation? The trick with mapping the DVD as a network drive works on Win2000, but not on Vista x64 (Beta version).
Vista says: 'Error performing inpage operation' when I try to run setup.exe. The only method that works on Vista is to copy everything to the hard disk before installing.
It appears from this thread that the problem has existed for several years. Why has it not been fixed or at least documented?????????????? They have made a system that keeps track of every installation process and sends a feedback to MS about any installation problems. The alleged purpose of this feedback system is to fix problems. MS must have got many automatic reports of this problem.
Obviously, they have not used the feedback system for the promised purpose ). Pogar wrote: Hello. I expected the same problem.
I solved it that way: 1. Share your CD/DVD drive. Net use (ex: net use k: desktop cdrom) 3. Install VS from mapped drive. This works for me.
Best regards. This worked for me with the en_vs_2005_pro_dvd.iso. My steps were equivalent: 1) Share the dvd drive in Windows Explorer 2) on the address bar type _computer_name>to verify share, right-click->map network drive 3) on mapped drive, navigate to: vs, double click 'autorun.exe'. Hi Everybody.i have a problem with my Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 that i would like to know the answer as soon as possible.I Just got the VS. 2005 it's an ISO File that contains 2 folders the first (msdn) & the second (vs) and 2 files the first (autorun.inf) & the second (readme.html) what i did is i mounted the ISO with UltraIso to a drive then i started the installation while it was going it stopped at a.dll file the name of the file is at the first post of this thread so i tried something else i burnt it to an image to a DVD Disc then i tried to install again but still the same problem so please i would like a STEP BY STEP Answer that would help me a lot....Help will be so MUCH appreciated. When installing VS2005 from the April 2007 MSDN DVD: The problem is that the installer files contain incorrect information (QA somebody?) and the solution is in the installation log file located at C: Documents_and_Settings Local_Settings Temp VSMsilog0179.txt. For htmllite.dll the file has to be located on a disk named PROD1 but the MSDN disk is labeled VSTUDIO05_3070.1.
The installer will later look for the file _3_RTL_386_enu_Core_IDE.cab and the error message lists the directory (for VS2005 Pro) english vs2005pro disk1 _3_RTL_386_enu_Core_IDE.cab but the file is actually located in the disk2 subfolder (a lot of other files mislabeled as well). While you can share the DVD as PROD1 and remap the drive to get around the first problem, the second problem makes it impossible to install from the DVD! Solution: • In a Temp folder create the directory structure English VS2005Pro • From the MSDN DVD copy the DISK1 and DISK2 subfolders to the VS2005Pro folder you just created. • Copy _3_RTL_x86_enu_Core_IDE.cab from DISK2 to DISK1. OK, skip that step. After finding at least 10 files in the wrong directory, I gave up and just copied ALL of the.cab files in DISK2 to DISK1. • Copy the folder DISK2 Program_files Microsoft_Visual_Studio_8 SDK v2.0 GuiDebug to DISK1 Program_files Microsoft_Visual_Studio_8 SDK v2.0 • Copy the folder DISK2 wcu JSharpRedistCore to DISK1 wcu • Copy the folder DISK2 wcu SSE to DISK1 wcu (required for SQL Server Express installation).
• Share the Temp folder with the share name PROD1 • Create a drive map from any free drive letter to the share created in step 3 (ex. Map Z: to PROD1). • Navigate to the new drive map via Explorer and run AUTORUN.EXE from the DISK1 folder • Installation should go normally now. • Reboot and you should be prompted to install the MSDN Library. Despite the DVD being labeled with 'MSDN Libary for Visual Studio 2005' (Disk 3070.1 April 2007) I could not find the library files on the DVD. Get the latest MSDN Subscriptions Library disk (I used December 2006) and browse to your DVD, or cheque the MSDN downloads. • Install VS2005 Service Pack 1.
• Run Windows Update and check for additional updates (non-critical). • After installation is complete, don't forget to remove the drive mapping, unshare the folder and delete the installation files.
Took me half a day of monkeying around but hopefully I managed to save somebody some time with the above. I hope they fix this with the next DVD release. I followed the thread and thought to share my solution to the problem. I was getting the following message 'Please insert the disk: Visual Studio 2005 Professional - ENU Disk 1' I had the Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition on TWO CDs and faced the same issue. I tried a few times but it stuck on asking for the htmllite.dll file while this file was on the CD.
If you are facing any problem while installing the Visual Studio from the CDs then you probably would need an ISO Image of the same CDs. You can create the ISO images of both the CDs using POWERISO and save them on the Harddisk. If you already have ISO image of those CDs then make sure that • CD1 must have the Volume label as VSPROD1. It doesn't matter what the name of the actual ISO file is.
You can rename the Volume label using the powerISO software (I had VSPROD1.iso PowerISO File 612,150 KB) • CD2 must have the Volume label VSPROD2(I had VSPROD2.iso PowerISO File 614,716 KB). Once you have done so, mount the first CD using the Right Click menu in the Explorer on the first CD's.iso file and run the setup on that CD.
Mount the other.iso file when prompted. I hope this will help installing the Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition that comes on TWO CDs. Best regards, Abdul Rehman. I'll second Langhorne's two questions to Microsoft. I just spent two days trying to install from the April 2007 DVD because my original installation lost its ability to recognize Addins.
Figuring that the newest setup I have would be the best chance at restoring functionality, I went with it. I was mighty suspicious of the Disk1/Disk2 folder structure from the start, but what the heck -- Microsoft tests these things before shipping.
How wrong was I? I understand MSDN production is a complex process, but given the power of.Net, Visual Studio Team Suite, and decades of experience, I would expect Microsoft to have this under control and certainly to understand the importance of testing -- especially given the simplicity of this fatal flaw. I do have some questions now that I've said my piece: • Is there any benefit to going through the 14-step program from Tank252ca or should I just go with the Langhorne's 'use the old DVD'? • Is that old DVD really a 'December 2006' (which I don't have) or the 'December 2005' that I do have? • Should I take the SP1 from the June 2007 or April 2007 DVDs? Or does it not matter? • Is there some source of information that lets one know if these different installations are functionally different or the same exact thing simply repackaged?
I'm not just referring to VS 2005 for this question, but across the entire MDSN disk set. Unless someone says otherwise, I think I'll try eng_mh1980's full URL trick first though. Thanks, Steve.
• Is there any benefit to going through the 14-step program from Tank252ca or should I just go with the Langhorne's 'use the old DVD'? No, I just posted those instructions for people that only had the April 2007 DVD and didn't want to download the whole package.
• Is that old DVD really a 'December 2006' (which I don't have) or the 'December 2005' that I do have? Mine is labeled December 2005. Guess I should have used that one instead of the April 2007 disk and saved myself a lot of trouble. If you originally installed from the Dec 2005 DVD and are reinstalling to fix something, I would use the same the disk again.
• Should I take the SP1 from the June 2007 or April 2007 DVDs? Or does it not matter? Shouldn't matter unless you're running Vista since the June disk also has the Vista update, but the original service pack should be the same on both DVDs. • Is there some source of information that lets one know if these different installations are functionally different or the same exact thing simply repackaged?
I'm not just referring to VS 2005 for this question, but across the entire MDSN disk set. None that I've ever come across on the MSDN web site, but it wouldn't make sense to have functionally different installations because that would mess up future service packs.
Once SP1 is applied it shouldn't matter which disk you started from. This was the most helpful description of the solution for me. No software to download/install/buy(!) and no tracking down and burning to blank media. Given this solution, I can offer some clarifications: (I am installing Visual Studio 2005 Professional) As recommended, I copied the DVD directory structure to my hard drive and merged files across both English VS2005Pro Disk1 and English VS2005Pro Disk2 directory structures into C: DVD1. Some files were duplicates so I just accepted the overwrite. One file, setup.sdb, a setup configuration file, varied between the two directories. Turns out the one in Disk1 was a superset of that in Disk2 so I kept the one in Disk1.
Finally, just to clarify, setup.exe ended up as C: DVD1 Setup setup.exe (not C: DVD1 setup.exe). So big 'thanks!!' To AftabQ and big 'what the #$3LL??!'
To Microsoft. As someone else noted, how can it be after all this time that Microsoft has not addressed, in *some* way, this basic install issue?' Thanks to all who took the time to share their solutions here. None of the suggestions above worked for me so I looked in the error log file and found this helpful information: MSI (s) (28:1C) [19:30:17:671]: File: D: Program Files Microsoft Visual Studio 8 Setup Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition - ENU htmllite.dll; To be installed; Won't patch; No existing file MSI (s) (28:1C) [19:30:17:671]: Source for file 'htmllite_dll_11_____XF_FC70_11D3_A5A1BB8' is compressed MSI (s) (28:1C) [19:30:17:687]: Source is incorrect.

I also have this problem when installing vs2005 pro Like Mr.
MichaelKosak statement, we need to change the label of drive to VSPROD1 (in my case). So, this is what i did when the 'Please insert.' Statement started: 1. When the 'Please insert the disk: Visual Studio 2005 Professional - ENU Disk 1' came out, i changed the label drive to VSPROD1 2.
It works and the installation continue again. When 'Please insert the disk: Visual Studio 2005 Professional - ENU Disk 2' came out, i changed the label drive to VSPROD2 4. And the installation complete successfully. Fyi: the installation source in the folder named DVD1. Final Solution first DVD contain disk 1 and disk 2 copy disk 1 on your hard disk copy disk 2 on the same directory (disk 1) and overwrite existing files ( All Visual Studio Files be on one Folder) Start setup normally you may have problem the product key not exist when instaling to solve this problem you can obtain the product key from install Visual Studio 2005 from DVD once you have the product key cancel this installation then start instaling from the folder on your hard disk and add the product key and enjoy Visual Studio 2005. The installation process for Visual Studio 2005 prompts ' Please insert the disk: Visual Studio 2005' everytime when I try to install VS2005.
This is what I did: * Downloaded VS 2005 from the MSDN members download site. File name: en_vs_2005_pro_dvd.iso (size=2,825,748 KB) * Used MagicISO tool to unpack the files * Used Nero 6 to write the extracted files to the DVD * Created a brand new Virtual PC with Windows XP + SP2 * Start the install process in the VPC by clicking on the setup.exe in vs on the dvd * Select the default installation options * Installation starts for a long time and then prompts: Please insert the disk: Visual Studio 2005' The screen show: Installing Components: Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Directory: Visual Studio 2005 Professional edition - ENU File: htmllite.dll What am I doing wrong?
