VS.NET.2003.On.Strike

Tried to open my Visual Studio .NET 2003 today and I got the following error:

"MS Development Environment has not been installed for the current user. Please run setup to install the application."

I guessed it must be *mad* at me for not using it for so long. I tried to open the one on my office notebook and the same error occured. Had to spend a few hours to fix both installations.

Repairing the installation doesn't help at all and uninstalling terminates abnormally. Searching through support.microsoft.com revealed a KB article but it does not seem to apply to the problem. Finally, discovered that running msiexec /x vs_setup.msi on the installation DVD will reset the installation and allows me to reinstall it.
