Visual Studio.NET requires that the user has administrator permissions to install the product. Most tools require that the user has the basic permissions. If the basic permissions to use the tool are not available an error will be thrown up.

If the system is as per above specifications, insert the DVD into the DVD ROM Drive. If Autorun is enabled the installation process begins automatically. If it is not enabled open Windows Explorer and explore the contents of the CD and click on Setup to begin the setup. The first screen to appear is the setup screen prompting the user to select the option to set up Visual Studio edition

Click on Install Visual Studio. The setup proceeds to copy files to a temporary folder and begins the process of installation.

On completion of the above process the user is taken to the Start Page. This page contains the License agreement which the user has to accept. He has to enter his name and click on continue to proceed with the installation.

The next page is the Options page, wherein he has to specify which components should be installed. By default all components are installed. The screen also displays the amount of disk space that will be required and the path of installation. (By default the installation drive is the boot drive. However the user can specify the drive in which he wants the software installed. However he must ensure that both the boot drive and the installation drive have the required disk space available.)

A scrollable feature description window in this screen describes the features of the various components that are to be installed. The user has to select the components to be installed, change the path of installation if required and click on the Install button.

This brings the user to the final screen where the actual installation of all the selected components takes place. This takes about an hour. The progress bar validates the installation order and then proceeds to install the selected components. On completion of the installation the successful completion of the installation is intimated and the system is restarted. The user has the option to cancel the process at any time during this entire process

In this section we have briefly touched upon the different versions of Visual Studio and also seen how to install Visual Studio.NET 2.0. In the section that follows we shall see what Visual Studio 2005 has to offer the Web application developer.
