After an OS re-install i am getting an error installing VS9: it says a file is corrupt and cannot be read.
I tried again, and this time the installer completed, but when i ran the 5-in-1 patch it said that something it was trying to install did not match something already installed.
In both cases it said that the medium i was trying to install from may be damaged. I am installed from a second partition on the HD. I recently defragged this partition.
I have the VS10 upgrade which I would normally run after installing 9: I was wondering if I could not download a new and complete VS10 if indeed my partition is at fault.

The "upgrade" to VS 10 is in fact the whole and complete VS10 and it would normally install its own common files which would override those of VS9...
But to take Steve's comment into account, if you have the full boxed version of VS9 i.e. on a CD, then to install VS10, you merely have to put the VS9 disc in one of your drives so that VS 10 installation can "see" that you legitimately upgraded, and will proceed to install. If you don't have VS9 on a disc, however, then I am afraid that you probably do have to have it installed before you install VS10.
Whether it needs to be a perfect installation of VS9, though, is another matter. You could give it a try to see, and if VS10 then works, you can uninstall VS9. Be careful if, in uninstalling, it tells you certain files are no longer needed, my inclination would be to leave them rather than uninstalling them. There *were* cases where uninstalling VS9 took away one or two common files -- though this can be remedied by another install of VS10 (or use the Repair option in you have VS10 on a CD...)

That the VS10 "upgrade" is in fact the whole caboodle is obviously news to me, also that it obviates the patch.
I have the download version of both 9 and 10, so I'll just run them in sequence without the patch.
However, as I write this I am downloading the 11Plus trial and will give that a serious look, although there's no way that anything I "produce" could ever justify further expense.
Thank you both for your help.
