Interview Question in Visual Studio 2005


 

Interview Question :: Microsoft Visual Studios 2005 SE- Installation problems, cracked disk, please help

My problem really boils down to this - Disk 1 cracked. I have a fully licensed copy, but the disk will not function. The other disks are fine. The crack can be seen on the reverse side of the disk, and all my efforts to repair the disk have not worked. The store I purchased it at will not exchange it. I was able to burn the disk regardless, but when I try to run the Setup or autorun .exe's I get the error "Unable to launch D:/Setup/setup.exe". Is there something in particular I can try to properly launch the setup, or is there a place I can download Visual Studios 2005 Standard edition for free, and just use my existing and paid for license key? I'm not looking for any illegal or cracked software, I just want to use what I alreeady paid for.
