I'm going to cut this down so I don't lose sight of my main issue so basicly I've taken my secondary drive out of my computer and for reasons I sharnt go into ( cos I'd get side-tracked ) I can't put it back in

Now that drive had Visual Studio 2008 on it and every time I try to install it on my C drive it looks to repair it on my D drive that obviously is not plugged in and I can't for the life of me get around this


Advice peoples?

I can tell you what you basically already know, and that's you need to find out where the file is that says to repair it on D.
If there is any way you can get a hard drive in D then your problems should go away.

Sorry, I don't really know what to say.

Uninstall the old one first (from control panel)? Otherwise you'll have to find and edit that registry entry.

Perhaps you could create a virtual D drive and see where repairing gets you.

If a simple uninstall doesn't fix it, go into regedit and look here for something that points to the install path and change it: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio

I'd go through it, but I'm tired and going to bed... good luck!

Setup a temporary virtual drive uninstalled any left components from the registry and its all working good now

Thanks guys.
