This hasn't been set in stone yet by Microsoft. Maybe they are waiting for a marketing decision. 1. Is VS Net 2003 2 and 3 are free downloads. Who knows they may switch to an MSI install, which would require 2 CD's much like SageKeys Office XP MSI wizard. The Microsoft Installer may require two CD's to be shipped, the Access 2003 Application CD created by the Packaging Wizard and the Office 2003 Windows Update CD. When the user inserts the Application CD, they are prompted to load the Update CD first which loads the required preconditioning components onto the target PC. By the way IIS must be installed prior to loading VS Net, if you plan to use any of its features. You can still use things like Net WinForms without IIS but not Web Forms. If you install IIS after VS Net you can only use internal Web Forms <local host>. To fix you have to do a clear and reinstall in correct order, usually takes a couple of hours.
