At the MagicISO FAQ: “How to combine 5 cd’s into 1 DVD“

What I thought would be cool is to combine the contents of the DreamSpark offerings (that I get as a student). In this way I could combine Visual Studio 2005, 2008 and Windows 2003 Server all on a single DVD. Then I could put SQL Server 2008 Developer Edition, Visual Studio 2010, and Windows Server 2008 Data Center on another.

My issue was apparently the JScript.dll. I wonder how or rather WHAT de-registered that DLL and for what reason? Hrmm…
