Problems with Visual C++

To try and solve the problem of Visual C++ not wanting to install, I tried installing it of a CD rather than a file on the computer. Unfortunately it has had the same effect.I have supplied more details about the problem to the official Visual forum (MSDN) and am waiting for an answer now.

There is another thing that I can try - install the trial version of the full Visual software (the Express Editions are free). However, it only lasts 90 days, therefore I will only try it after we get back from the trips - not to waste the time that we're away.
