I am trying to install visual studio .NET
The system prompts for windows componet update. When i click that it asks for windows update CD, which eventually I dont have. The readme.txt doc displays the following link
ms-help://MS.VSCC/MS.MSDNVS/vbcon/html/vboriUpgradingApplications.htm for upgrading applications and this link doesnt work. How do i know which all components I require for windows update. I have configured my IIS and related HTTP-Kee[p Alive stuff.
