Visual Studio 2010 Professional installation fails while installing TFS Object Model (x86)

Question

Error 1311 : Source file not found: %temp%\30319.01\1033\VS_PRO\wcu\tfs\TFSObjectModel-x86_ENU.cab. Verify that the file exists (it does) and that you can access it (it is set up as a "Read-only" file). Its parent directory (tfs) is Read-only. The .cab file in question has its properties set up as "inherits from parent..."

The installer was downloaded. This setup originates from the installer.

In my humble opinion, this is at the core of my problem. I've tried a myriad ways of removing the "Read-only" attribute but to no avail.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Delete every thing %TEMP% folder and then try installing again. some times files placed in TEMP folder are deleted by the system before they could be used by the setup.

Hi Robert,

 

Welcome to the MSDN forum.

 

From your post, you install Visual Studio 2010 Professional via a web installer, so I recommend you download ISO files of Visual Studio 2010 from: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=16057

 

I also strongly recommend you:

·         Extract the ISO files to your local hard disk.

·         Complete or dismiss Windows Updates before installation (but turn on Windows Update service).

·         Clean up your “%temp%” folder (Start>>Run>>%temp%).

·         Check if there are any anti-virus or antispyware applications running. Make sure they are turned off during installation.

·         Run the setup file with Administrator privileges: Right-click the installer > Run as administrator.

 

If the problem still exists after these steps, could you please collect the log for me?

·         Collect the logs from "%temp%" folder with the Log Collection Tool.

·         Upload the vslogs.cab file to an open website like Windows Live SkyDrive or send it to me (E-mail: v-alsun_at_microsoft_dot_com).

Note: Please attach the link of this post in the mail.

 

If you have any other concerns, please feel free to let me know.

 

Best Regards,
