So I have been attempting to install VS.NET 2005 on a new build of my primary machine for the past week or so.  Every single time I tried, in and out of VPC with the DVD ISO's and CD-ROM ISO's and with/without burning each to disk it failed with the error 1335.  Pretty damn annoying if you ask me.

Last night I felt pretty tolerant so I re-downloaded the DVD ISO from MSDN for the 3rd time, and after the hash checked out I decided to move the ISO to another (SATA, slightly faster) drive.  It worked!  Woot!.  It actually worked.  I have no idea what actually caused it to work, the new drive, a new ISO from MSFT or what but I actually have VS.NET 2005 installed on my machine.

Right now, it appears to be working in the VPC session as well.

So if your having the same issue, try moving the ISO onto another drive and re-attempt the install.  You just never know.

  Or alternatively, you may find that picking your nose with your left little finger whilst browsing slashdot might actually do the trick too.
