If you ever tried to install Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 or a standalone Visual Studio product on Windows 2000 or XP, you already know that setup fails. But luckily there is a workaround. At the command prompt, type the following command:
E:\SETUP\acmsetup.exe /T E:\SETUP\PRODUCT.STF /s E:\ /n “NAME” /o “ORGANIZATION” /k 1234567890
