how to split Visual Studio 2003 DVD rip into CDs?

[dedificator]

About VS2003 DVD remastering:
1) It is possible, to replace MSDN component with newer version, or install VS without MSDN. Search forum for this procedure description (from my previous posts), this info is taked from MSDN site,
2) M$ CD and DVD images (OS bootable also) can be VERY easy built, using M$ tool from WinXP PE CD called "oscdimg.exe". This tool simply compiles directory content into iso image and adds bootsectors, if specified. I'm never using nero or similar progs for this job (process speed ...).

VS installer simply launches MSDN setup ..., this is NOT integrated part. When installing MSDN, you can integrate them with VS.

Try for yourself ...

Acording to http://www.exetools.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3964, and I quote:
"1. The instructions to converting the VS DVD to CD are already posted in the General Discussion forum."

It is these instructions (which a search on relavent keywords has so far failed to turn up) that I am after.

Probobly what is needed is a list of which files go on which CDs plus a new set of setup files (at least vs_setup.msi, probobly others as well) from the CD set.

Having just spent the best part of a week downloading the DVD ISO from the exetools FTP I am not about to go and redownload a copule CD ISOs from P2P that will have 99% the same content as the DVD ISO I have now.

Also, for reasons I cant go into, it is not possible for me to just dump the DVD ISO, the RAR files it came in or its contents onto some CDs and call it done.
I do really need to know how to turn it into a complete set of working CDs.

jonwil, I think your searching skills may be suspect , as I found this thread fairly quickly: http://www.exetools.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3739. I think this may be what you're looking for.

DUH, looks like I used the wrong keywords (or more likely didnt search back far enough )

But that link refers to version 7.0
The ISO I have is version 7.1.
So, what do I do?

Hm? Where did you see a reference to VS7.0?

VS.Net 2002 is 7.0, VS.Net 2003 is 7.1; the thread and attachment are both titled VS.Net 2003, so I think it should be what you need.
