Hello,

I am new to Visual Studio, tryng to set it up on my Windows 2000 PC for

an into C++ class I'm taking. I installed it once, but like an idiot, I

did a full install which took up much too much disk space. So, I
uninstalled Visual Studio (went fine), then tried to reinstall
selecting "Products", then just selecting "Visual C++ Enterprise
Edition", which is all I need for my class.


It seems to copy all the files fine, but afterwards, where it gets to
the screen where it's registering, I get a Setup Error dialog box
saying "unable to create a DCOM user acount in order to register
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\Tools\VS-Ent98
\Vanalyzr\valc.exe".


No matter how many times I reboot & try again, the same thing happens.
Please help! Also, please explain as if to a beginner.


THANKS!!!!!

This is off-topic here [as it doesn't relate to the C++ language as
such, see the FAQ]; you should try posting on a Microsoft-specific
group like microsoft.public.vc where someone might be able to help you.
