VS 2008 Pro - trial version - problems with ISO file
Hi I downloaded the iso file for the trial version of VS 2008 and then discovered I had to burn it to DVD before I could even start the installation (ho hum). Anyway, I am using NTI DVD maker and I have tried to burn it to DVD twice! The second time I even told NTI that it is an ISO file I wanted to burn. Anyway, both times, when I look at what has been burnt to the dvd, I see only a readme file which says:
This disc contains a "UDF" file system and requires an operating system
that supports the ISO-13346 "UDF" file system specification.
How do I get around this or does anyone know of a download which does not involved ISO files - HELP!!

Well I checked those links out but I would have to pay for that software and I discovered there is an option in my NTI Media Maker to burn ISO files. Well I tried twice with 2 different DVDs and went about 2/3 of the way through the VS install and both times got the same error! The 2nd time (as per MS's troubleshooting instructions) I burnt the ISO file at a slower speed. Both times I get the error on the same file so I can only conclude that MS's ISO file is pants (ho hum!) - boy do you need plenty of patience in IT! The error I am getting (just in case anyone knows another way around this) is:
Error 1305. Error reading from file e:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstr
It would be a lot better if MS still offered to post a DVD for a small fee but I cannot see that option anywhere on their site.
Please, please help as I can't do any work until I get my development environment set up!

Thanks Alfred but I got it working - I just copied all the files from the DVD onto my hard drive then ran the setup.exe and it looks like it's worked :-)

The software wasn't necessary as NTI DVD maker burns ISO files. However, that's not to say the other software wouldn't have done a better job cos the setup didn't work from the DVD - I had to copy the files onto my hard drive first before running the setup.
