WIndows 7 - Cannot install Power Tools 2008
When trying to install the Team Foundation Server Power Tools 2008 on my x64 Windows 7...it gives me an error saying that .NET 2.0 is not installed and setup cannot continue.
Being that .NET 2.0 is part of the Windows 7 installation...how do I get around this? I can't check stuff into TFS right now because of the missing check-in policy items that I need from this.
...and, yes, I have tried running it in compatibility mode...and that didn't help.

OK, well...after tons of searching and not finding the answer...I found a fix on my own.
For anyone else having this issue:
1. Download the Orca MSI editor.
2. Load the installer MSI.
3. On the left-hand column, find the "LaunchCondition" table.
4. Remove the "FXINSTALLED OR Installed" ROW.
5. Save the new MSI and run it.
Worked for me. :p- Marked As Answer byKevin Wiegand Thursday, October 22, 2009 3:50 PM

- The Oct. 2008 version of the Power Tools installed on Win7 x64 for me without any messages or errors.
- Thats strange since that is the version I tried installing.
Oh well...
