Answer 1

I have the same problems as yours!

Answer 2

What is your Windows version and Service Pack level?

For VS 2010, you must have SP3 for Windows XP, and minimum SP1 for Vista.

If you meet those requirements, try installing .NET Framework 4.0 independently, using these steps:

Follow ALL the steps below:

Follow these steps exactly:

Before trying to install .NET Framework 4.0, execute this command from an ELEVATED Command Prompt provided by the .NET Framework Team:

"This issue is likely caused by a bad ACL on assembly\tmp folder. After installing updates, the ACL propagates to installed assembly folders in both 4.0 & legacy GAC.  If those updates were installed by WU or another user, the propagated ACL will prevent install of the same assembly by the current user.

A work around would be to reset the ACL on GAC dirs.

for /F %D in ('dir %WINDIR%\assembly %WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\assembly /s /b /a:d') do takeown /F %D && icacls %D /reset /T"

After running that command, follow these steps:

Please follow these instructions exactly:

1. Download a fresh copy of the standalone installer for .NET Framework 4.0:

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17718

2. Also, clear your %temp% directory and disable your AV software.

The %temp% directory is a reference to the Temp folder associated with the current user. To clear it, do the following:

Sign on to your system with the Administrator user account you will use to run the installer. Click the Start Orb and type %temp% in the search box. The search results will show the Temp folder you want. Click on the Temp folder to open it in Windows Explorer, then delete the entire contents.

3. Run the standalone installer from step 1 As Administrator.

Note: Just using an administrator account is NOT enough. To activate full privileges, you must right-click the installer, then select Run as administrator.

If the install fails, provide complete install logs as follows:

Please collect your install logs with this:

After you run Collect.exe, you'll find vslogs.cab in your %temp% directory. Please upload vslogs.cab to a public site, like SkyDrive, and post the link here.

Answer 4

Blackbil,

Your vslogs.cab does NOT contain a .NET Framework 4.0 install log. Therefore I have to ask you to redo all the steps I provided.

Answer 5

Hello Yearn2Learn.

Have you had a chance to try the procedures I posted?

Answer 6

I did! maybe I posted the wrong vslogs.cab, because after trying these steps I tried other stuff.

I will try that again.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Hello Blackbil,

Looking at your install logs for .NET Framework 4.0, it installed successfully. Therefore, you do not have the same issue as Yearn2Learn.

Here is your actual issue:

"VC 9.0 Runtime (x86): [2] CMsiComponent::Install() expects the setup file for VC 9.0 Runtime (x86), but the file failed verification."

So, your problem is with a C++ runtime component.

You can try to install the VC 9.0 runtime independently:

If that fails, you should seek help in the C++ forum, here:

Answer 9

Thanks pvdg2 for the prompt help n sorry for the late reply ... 

Im using Windows7 ultimate, is that the problem ? Dont they have something for windows7 ?

Should i try the steps u shared anyways ?

Answer 10

Hello Yearn2Learn,

Visual Studio 2010 (all editions) installs and works fine on Windows 7. That is not your issue.

From your original post, your install failed when .NET Framework 4.0 failed to install. The steps I posted are to install .NET Framework 4.0 independently.

Yes, you need to exactly follow the steps I gave previously.

Answer 11

Thanks ill try the steps and keep you posted.
