Did you install VS2008 from CD/DVD media or HDD? When did VS2008 installation UI disappear during the installation? Do you mean that you could not see any installation UI after you started setup.exe and clicked Install VS2008? Will this situation happen when you install other software?<br/><br/>Thanks <hr class=sig> Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help and unmark them if they provide no help. <br/><a href="http://cfx.codeplex.com/">Welcome to the All-In-One Code Framework!</a> If you have any feedback, please tell us.Mon, 06 Jul 2009 09:43:27 Z2009-07-06T09:46:52Zhttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vssetup/thread/e8248a87-1368-4bb3-97f3-5c39cd53b693#c7624ba6-509d-4c5c-87b3-6cbe6ecc4570http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vssetup/thread/e8248a87-1368-4bb3-97f3-5c39cd53b693#c7624ba6-509d-4c5c-87b3-6cbe6ecc4570YiChun Chenhttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Profile/en-US/?user=YiChun%20ChenVisual studio 2008 not installing on windows 7 RCHi TimoteiDolean,<br/><br/>We are changing the issue type to “Comment” because you have not followed up with the necessary information.

The issue was the following.<br/>1)I had an .iso file with VS2008<br/>2) I used UltraIso for mounting the image<br/>3) it didn't work.<br/>4) I installed PowerIso <br/>5) Mounted that second time, and worked.<br/>5a) If i try to copy the setup files on the HDD it works<br/><br/>So the Solution: Use PowerIso Until Daemon Tools gets fixed(the official one, not other cracks)Sat, 18 Jul 2009 18:00:42 Z2009-07-18T18:02:10Z
