| Yeah, I don't know why MS makes you jump through hoops for this, all
the fix does is create the string key "InstallDir" in
"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\"
This is a folder reference, it needs to point to a temporary folder
that exists somewhere (don't think it matters where, as long as it's
not the same as VS 8's InstallDir) which the files are installed to
After that's set you can install the tools, then run SP2 to update to
VS2005. (Also note the instructions on copying project templates that
are at the very bottom of the SP2 info page on the microsoft site,
they're well hidden but _very important_ . Caught me out anyway)
