>>I've a Microsoft Visual Basic 4.0 Installation CD, but the problem is that my PC does not have a CD-ROM, i try to use windows 95 Direct-Cable to connect to my friends PC and install from there by accessing his PC CD-ROM Drive, but in didn't work by giving me some error message... Any tips for this.
>>i'm considering to install on my friends PC first and then copy direct from there, but i know that there are some files that are copy to windows directory during setup and the setup make some changes as well in the registry and system files, If i use this methods, any tips on the files i need to copy and setting that need to be change ? Thanks

Or, MS will sell you the product on Diskette for a small fee. At least, this was there policy in the past. I always thought that there were sub-directories on the CD (DISK1, DISK2, ...) which might allow for copying to floppy disks (1.44). I never had the need to look into it. Well htwh. Steve
