Downloaded the VS2005 Preview from MSDN, installed in (have I said how much I like Virtual PC's?) and went to install the "help" (DVD:/MSDN/setup.exe). No go...
It kept complaining that it needed .Net Framework 2.0. It would try to install it, and after a bit, fail.
Did the try, try and try again. Reboot and try again. Still failed.
After spelunking, I found a .Net version reference in the DVD:/MSDN/Setup.ini. Guess what? The version the setup.exe was looking for (version=v2.0.40224) didn't match the version installed by VS2005 (version=v2.0.40301).
Copied the DVD:/MSDN/*.* to my HD, edited setup.ini, changed it to "version=v2.0.40301" and it installed fine.
