I'm trying to add a feature to VS 2008. However, the initial install was done with a DVD in drive D: ... I don't currently have the DVD, so I'm trying to do the updating using an .iso mounted as drive E: ... The VS setup program is not able to find the setup files.

Is there a way for me to tell VS 2008 setup to look for files in E: instead of D:? Maybe a registry or ini setting?

Edit: The specific error message I got was: A selected drive is no longer valid
