Silverlight Tools Installation Error Codes

  • Artikel

[Edited to included updated Silverlight 3 Tools] 

When the Silverlight Tools fail to install, a log file is generated with error codes and messages.  You can open this log file from the last screen of the installer.  Or, you can find this log file in your %TEMP% directory under the name  Silverlight Tools RTW_ [installation date and time]. html or Silverlight 3.0 Tools_ [installation date and time] .html

Web Platform Installer

Open this log file and look at the end to find the exit code and messaging about why the installer failed.  It may say something like “Final Result: Installation failed with error code: (0x80072EE5).” or “Final Result: Installation failed with error code: (0x1), Incorrect function.”

    I solved this problem by stopping the "Background Intelligent Transfer Service" and re-trying the installing.It seems the installer tries to download using BITS and fails.After that I restarted the BITS service.
