DDSet_Error: Internal error: 2

  • Article

Visual Studio 2010 fails on a Windows XP SP3 system with the following error message:
"DDSet_Error: Internal error: 2"

After reviewing the MSI log, I found that the failure occurs while executing "ReserveHttp" custom Action:

MSI (s) (7C:EC) [21:20:09:478]: Executing op: CustomActionSchedule(Action=ReserveHttp.992B75DB_179A_4B48_B260_9FD0862C9A76,ActionType=3073,Source=BinaryData,Target=Install,)

I ran httpcfg.exe tool https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc787508%28WS.10%29.aspx
“httpcfg.exe query urlacl > urlacl.txt” and looking at the utlacl.txt log, it looks like the system has an existing reservation which conflicts: URL : https://+:8732/

ACL : D:(A;;GX;;;S-1-5-21-143435xxx-1455057xxx-3436625xxx-1025)

So before we try to reserve we attempt to query for the exact reservation: https://+:8732/Design_Time_Addresses/, this fails, since it obviously doesn’t exist.

We then try to set the reservation, this fails because of the conflicting reservation. The delete then fails as well, because the exact reservation does not exist. It is likely that the some other program or application has coincidentally used the same port which it used.

In order to workaround this problem, we would need to remove this urlacl with httpcfg before running Visual Studio 2010.

The command would be httpcfg.exe delete urlacl /u https://+:8732/

    Hi, I have just been instaling VS2010 on Windows 7 and got the same error. Your solution helped perfectly. I have one question though. How did you know which address was reserved ? PS: If anyone reads this, on WIndows 7 you must use: netsh http delete urlacl https://+:8732/

    Had the same issue with Visual Studio 2013. Deleted the https://+8733/Design_Time_Addresses/ using netsh and after that the installation worked.
