Forgive me if this is the wrong place to ask this, but I've never
dealt with progamming code before and thought this might be a better
place to ask this.
==================================
I think I found a way to fix my "hang" problem during setup, but I
need to install Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable to do it.

Situation: I am in "forced" Setup mode and am at the point where my
server "hangs" at the 12-min left mark in "Registering Components".
The problem, I think, is with the system not being able to find and
use Visual C++2005 Redistributable. The problem is that because it's
hung up, it won't recognize any drive letter expect C (I've tried cd\
and XCOPY - no luck), so my thought is to use msiexec.exe to auto-
place the file (vsredist_x86.exe) into c:\Windows]WinSxS\ and then
execute it.


Conundrum: I've looked at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235291(VS.80).aspx
and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372024(VS.85).aspx
and
don't really feel comfortable in putting them together to do what I
want.


Any code-wiz's out there who can tell me the syntax? And how to
bundle
it onto a CD-R with a low-budget burner like Sonic RecordNow?


Many Thanks In Advance!!
