Unable to install Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 due to VC 9.0 runtime.

  • Article

Problem:

Installing Visual Studio 2010 Beta2 (Express, Professional, Premium or Ultimate SKUs) results in a failed setup.

If the dd_error_*100.txt contains the following:

[11/25/09,09:24:37] VC 9.0 Runtime (x86): [2] Setup detection logic indicates that this component is NOT installed, but MSI indicates that it IS already installed.  This is usually caused by an incompatible previous version being installed on the system.  Check in Add Remove Programs and uninstall any previous versions of VC 9.0 Runtime (x86).
[11/25/09,09:24:37] VC 9.0 Runtime (x86): [2] Error: Installation failed for component VC 9.0 Runtime (x86). MSI returned error code 1603

Work around:

  • Uninstall all VC 9.0 Runtime versions on your box.
  • Then Retry to install Visual Studio 2010.

    解决方法：问题出在注册表,HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFWAREMicrosoftInternet Explorer下MAIN子键的权限问题,改成"允许完全控制"就行了.
