Hi all,
I am trying to install VB.Net on windows XP Home Edition. The moment I
place the 1st CD, I keep getting the window that says

"Visual Studio .NET prerequisites - Setup has detected that some of the
system components that are installed on your computer do not match the
version required for visual studio.net. You must install a different
version of these components."

I have NO clue what these components are? Thanks to Microsoft for
detecting them but not sharing this valuable info with me! Can someone
kindly share this info if you have any idea? What is missing? How do I
learn this?

Thank you in advance,
Rajesh Rapaka.

You'll want to post that question in a .Net group. They all contain "dotnet"
or "vsnet" in their names.
This and all other groups on the MS server that start with
"microsoft.public.vb" are for VB Classic (VB versions 1-6) and were in
existance long before any .Net products were released. While some of the
code looks the same, they are very different products and require a
different set of groups.

Try one of these:
news://microsoft.public.dotnet.general
news://microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb

fwiw, this page says you need SP2

<response type="generic" language="VB.Net">
This newsgroup is for users of Visual Basic version 6.0
and earlier and not the misleadingly named VB.Net
or VB 200x. Solutions, and often even the questions,
for one platform will be meaningless in the other.
When VB.Net was released Microsoft created new newsgroups
devoted to the new platform so that neither group of
developers need wade through the clutter of unrelated
topics. Look for newsgroups with the words "dotnet" or
"vsnet" in their name. For the msnews.microsoft.com news
server try these:

microsoft.public.dotnet.general
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb
