>>Anyway, there is a point to this, has anyone else run across this, or am I the first, and as the first should i report it to MS, or do they already know because I am not the first.

>I know John Herring got that error installing it as well. I would have never guessed that the registry has a cap on it. That doesn't make alot of sense, but then, 35mb of registry entries? WTF.

We looked around the office, every other machine had at least 25Meg used.
These are just standard dev machines, VS 6, VFP 7, Office, Win2000.
I dont know how much VS .NET added in to my machine, or what it was before the install.
Something to look out for though.
