Answer 1

Hi Iqbal,

May I ask have you installed any other beta version Visual Studio on your OS? Where did you get your installation package? Have you installed any related products before?

Actually, your information tells us the period has expired, you may need to upgrade your Version.

Now,I suggest you try Visual Studio Express to use. It is free and if you can use it properly, maybe it is not a installation issue.

Best regards,

Answer 3

Hi Iqbal,

Actually, 2010 Express is different from other version so the can be installed side by side. In my mind, your issue may be like this "You have installed related products before or register server is down". I'm afraid you need to check these.

Best regards,
