SYMPTOMS
When you start to install Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003, a dialog box may appear next to Step 1 in the Visual Studio .NET 2003 Setup program. The dialog box contains the following message:

Visual Studio .NET PreRequisites - Setup has detected that some of the system components that are installed on your computer do not match the versions required for Visual Studio .NET. You must install a different version of these components.

Note In this message, the word &quot;Prerequisites&quot; is capitalized incorrectly.



CAUSE
This dialog box is not really an error message, even though it appears to be one. This message means that you must first load components from the Visual Studio .NET 2003 Prerequisites CD before you can install Visual Studio .NET 2003.



RESOLUTION
To load the components, click the Step 1 image or the Visual Studio .NET 2003 Prerequisites text. You will be prompted to insert the Prerequisites CD. After the Prerequisite Setup program finishes, insert Visual Studio .NET 2003 CD1 in the CD drive, and then go to Step 2 of the Visual Studio .NET 2003 Setup program.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
When you start the Prerequisite Setup program, you may receive the following message:

Setup has detected that another program requires the computer to reboot

You may receive this message even after you restart the computer one or more times. To work around this problem, follow these steps:  Cancel the installation, and then insert the Visual Studio .NET 2003 Prerequisites CD. Click OK if you receive the following Autorun message:

Please insert disc one of the product you want to install.

 Locate and then double-click the Setup.exe program that is in the root folder of the CD. You may receive the following message:

Visual Studio .NET Prerequisites Warning - Setup on CD1 should be used to launch Visual Studio .NET Prerequisites setup so that only the necessary components are installed. Click Yes to exit and change CDs. Click No to install all available components.

 Click No. The Prerequisites Setup program continues. After the Prerequisite Setup program finishes, insert Visual Studio .NET 2003 CD1 in the CD drive, and then go to Step 2 of the Visual Studio .NET 2003 Setup program.</ol>
