>1) You will need LOTS of diskspace, and not just on the target disk for the installation. More than likely, Setup will require that you do a Windows Components update which may require up to 650MB or so of space on the drive where Windows is installed.

Probably closer to about 400Mb, from what I've seen. Yes, we're complaining about that. Given the system updates, I don't know that this will change, though.

> On the target drive, you will need about 6GB for a full installation.

How are you checking this? My current installation comes in at around 3Gb right now, checking by right-click VS7 folder and Properties.

>2) If using Windows 2000, make sure that you expand the registry entry space before starting the installation ... I got some messages when installing telling me I should do that.

Interesting; on a clean (formatted and reinstalled) Windows 2000 box, I get no such messages. The builds I'm using may expand it automagically, though. I'm currently seeing registry size of 15Mb, with a max of 70Mb.
