Problem:

This Net Express 5.0.NET package includes 2 DVDs covering a Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition to be installed before using the Net Express 5.0.NET environment.

However, there is no CD-/DVD-device available to install Microsoft's VS2005 Edition, thus it was copied onto a network share to install from.

Is there a recommendation how to act safely because it can fails to obey "changing the discs" while installing VS2005?

Resolution:

Yes, please refer topic 1.3.6. from the link below describing how to install VS2005 safely from a network share.
