I installed VS2005 from an MSDN subscription CD
but because there appears to be an installer problem with the
subscription CD I followed a technique posted on a Microsoft forum
where you copy disk2 files over Disk1 files on your c: drive then
execute setup.exe. This worked. But now the deployment problem: When
adding a setup project to an existing solution VS2005 hangs. The
initial split screen displays but that's it. There appears to be no CPU
usage reported from the Task manager. Only that the solution is 'not
responding'. It will stay there all day if I leave it. So I'm stumped.
Has anyone encountered this and what was the solution? Thanks for your
help.
