SYMPTOMS
When you install the re-release of the Korean-language version of Visual Studio 2005 or of Visual Studio .NET from a network folder, the files for the currently installed Visual Studio 2005 or Visual Studio .NET program are not updated.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the repair uses the copy of the product from the original network location, if it is available, to update Visual Studio 2005 or Visual Studio .NET. Because the repair does not use the updated files, the product is not updated.



Workaround
To work around this problem, in the folder on the network share from which the original product was installed, replace the original product files with the re-released product files. Setup will continue through the repair process and update the files by using the re-release product files.

If the original installation was performed by using CD-ROM media, when you click Repair, Setup prompts for the CD-ROM. Insert the CD-ROM for the re-release version of the program in the drive; the files are updated as expected.



Steps to Reproduce the Behavior
To reproduce the problem, follow these steps:
 * 1) Install the original version of Korean Visual Studio 2005 or Visual Studio .NET from a network folder.
 * 2) Start to install the re-release version from a different network folder.
 * 3) Click Repair\Reinstall.
