4.1. Facilitating Setup Over a Network Visual Studio .NET 2003 setup may be run from a network share as an alternative to running setup from CDs or DVDs.The following procedure illustrates how to prepare Visual Studio .NET 2003 for installation from a network share.Example procedure for sharing the installation files from CDs Create a folder (for example, VS2003) on the server. Create three subfolders, named PRE, VS, and MSDN within the top-level folder. For example: VS2003\PRE VS2003\VS VS2003\MSDN. Copy the contents of the CD labeled Visual Studio .NET 2003 Prerequisites to the subfolder named PRE. Copy the contents of all CDs labeled Visual Studio .NET 2003 to the subfolder named VS. If prompted, overwrite existing files. Copy the contents from all the CDs labeled MSDN Library for Visual Studio .NET 2003 to the subfolder named MSDN. If prompted, overwrite existing files. Open Setup.ini in the VS subfolder using a text editor, such as Notepad. In the [Baseline] section, change the line that starts with "DIR=" as follows: [Baseline] DIR=..\PRE FileName=setup.exe In the [Documentation] section, change the line that starts with "DIR=" as follows: [Documentation] DIR=..\MSDN Save your changes and close the file. Note Completing this step prevents disk-swapping requests during setup and informs the setup program of the correct path to the Visual Studio .NET 2003 Prerequisites and MSDN Library CDs. In the VS subfolder, open the Setup folder. Open setup.sdb in a text editor, such as Notepad, and add the following lines to the end of the file: [Product Key] XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Note XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX is the 25 digit product key, entered without dashes, found on the CD packaging. Save your changes and close the file. Note Completing this step enables pre-populating the product key for the user. Share the VS2003 folder on the network and set the appropriate security settings. The path to Visual Studio .NET 2003 setup from the network looks as follows: \\[servername]\VS2003\VS\setup.exe Note Setup fails if any path and file name combination exceeds 260 characters. The maximum length of a path in Visual Studio is 221 characters; accordingly, you should copy files to a path with less than 70 characters. If you create a network share for a network image, the UNC path to the root installation location should contain fewer than 39 characters. Note Setup may fail if the folder names in this path include embedded spaces, for example: "\\[servername]\VS 2003\MSDN\" or "\\[servername]\VS2003\Visual Studio\". Note Visual SourceSafe® and Visio® are not part of Visual Studio .NET 2003 setup. However, you may also copy the contents of the Visual SourceSafe and Visio CDs to separate folders on your server to facilitate setup of these products over a network as separate installations.
TO starpacific(全世界的细雨落在全世界的草坪)： 看来大家还是费了些心思。如果用虚拟光驱，先用哪种虚拟光驱软件好些。现在的虚拟光驱软件都有些大，有的70－80M，还有使用虚拟光驱的方法安装，我已经将原文件解压到Disk1.....,Disk6共6个目录下，是将每个目录下的文件又做成VCD文件？ 好像做虚拟光驱文件时是先放盘在光驱里生志，我现在已经解压到了硬盘的对应目录下，而且没有光盘，能够做么？

好像做虚拟光驱文件时是先放盘在光驱里生志，我现在已经解压到了硬盘的对应目录下，而且没有光盘，能够做么？
daemon只有500多K，怎么可以叫大？它基本可以虚拟出市面上所有的虚拟光驱文件！！！
因为做成"虚拟光驱"安装完一张时，不会提示换第二张，不能换提示换下张大家可想而知
呵呵
觉得不错！
vcd格式的！
