Windows 95 has a 64K Limit on the Registry size. Windows 98 and Windows NT
Do not have this problem. MS has a File on the Support site to help
you with this problem. Just lookup help Article with "64K Registry" and
it should be able to help you.
HTH...

Tried installing again, same message. I decide to try it anyways, and I shortened the install directories to E:\VS\Cmn. Finally loaded everything and rebooted the computer - I got like 10 error messages RE: dll's. Guess I didn't clear out enough.

I even changed 30-40 entries from their long file names to the 8 character versions ("Program Files" became "PROGRA~2"). Still no luck. Everything works except C++. How on earth is everyone getting all this stuff to install? It looks like just this one program takes a lot of registry space. What a stupid problem.
