Hi,

I installed VS over WinXP-Pro/SP2. After getting past a couple of
initial failures, I got then got a notice the Document Manager had
failed to install: "Installation failed for component Microsoft
Document Explorer 2008. MSI returned error code 1603". Happily that
error wasn't favorable. Does anyone know how I can add Document
Manager? Re-running Setup doesn't seem to offer such an option.

BTW, here are the first two errors I got, which were resolved using
advice that Google uncovered:

One error led me to discover that I needed to update Windows
Installer, and that advice was coupled with an update link.

The second error was a reported invalid checksum for some .cab file.
Googling returned a site that indicated copying the disk to my hard-
drive might alleviate the problem. Running Setup from there overcame
the checksum problem.

Best wishes,
Richard
