Install Visual Studio 2005 on Windows 7 X64

Question

I am trying to install Visual Studio 2005 Professional on Windows 7 X64 and it does not work quickly when installing the 64-bit Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 (x64) prerequisites. Installation error logs include the following:

[08/25 / 09,14: 46: 14] Requirements for 64-bit Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 (x64): [2] Component of Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 64-bit prerequisites (x64) returned an unexpected value.

[08/25 / 09.14: 46: 17] setup.exe: [2] Error ISetupComponent :: Pre / Post / Install () in ISetupManager :: InstallManagerHelper () with HRESULT -2147023293.

[08/25 / 09,14: 46: 17] setup.exe: [2] Component error string not specified in ISetupManager :: AddToActionResultCollection ()

Windows 7 provides additional information:

Problem signature: Problem Event Name: InPageError Error Status Code: c000000d Faulting Media Type: 00000000 OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.48 Locale ID: 1033 Additional Information 1: 0a9e Additional Information 2: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789 Additional Information 3: 0a9e Additional Information 4: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789 

Efforts to find this problem on the Internet have so far yielded nothing useful, so I thought I'd ask here. Is it just me or other people who survived this problem?

Answer 1

With some help on the MSDN managed forum, and I was lucky to have installed this. Some of the steps I took made no sense, but I thought I should document this for others.

I extracted the prerequisite setup program by running \ wcu \ 64bitPrereq \ vs_bsln.exe using the / C switch, and then installed using this command from the admin command line:

 msiexec /package vs_bsln.msi /log <filename> 

This gave me another error message:

 MSI (s) (C4:D4) [09:14:54:489]: Product: Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 64bit Prerequisites (x64) - ENU -- Error 1945.You do not have sufficient privileges to complete the re-advertisement of this product. Re-advertisement requires initiation by a local system account calling the MsiAdvertiseScript API, such as through Group Policy Software Deployment. 

The rest does not really make sense to me, but I reiterated that the command above is registered as a domain administrator, not a local administrator and the prerequisites are established!

So, I tried installing Visual Studio again, and it did not try to set prerequisites, but could not with the same message on the next component (as I recall, in Document Explorer). I tried to run \ vs \ setup.exe as Administrator, and it worked.

UPDATE 10/21/09: This problem may be related to starting the installation from a shared DVD drive on another computer. If you encounter such a problem and you start the installation over the network, trying to copy the local installation.

When I tried to install Visual Studio 2005 Standard on a Win7-x64 machine, I encountered a problem in which an error would appear that included the following bits of information, and then the installation was rolled back (I do not have a complete error, because the box did not allow me to copy the text):

 Error 1935 "microsoft.vc80.atl" HRESULT 0x80070bc9 

The various offers found on the Internet seem to have no effect (I don't have domain administrator access to the machine and you cannot get it) until I tried the following:

• open the Control Panel "Programs and Features" applet
• select "Enable or disable Windows features"
• make sure all elements associated with the "Microsoft.NET Framework 3.5.1" are included. Specifically, the Windows Communication Foundation HTTP and HTTP connection components were disabled, and I turned them on. I have no idea what this is for what might be suggested in the names.

After I did this, the work of VS2005 worked, but she complained about incompatibility several times. However, I was able to say that these dialogs just continue to run the program, and everything seemed to work fine.

Now I will disable the installation of VS 2005 SP1 and the SP1 Vista and Win7 updates.

A variation on this topic: I had the same problem; I got errors in the C: \ windows \ winsxs directory; I took control of this directory and all its subdirectories (right-click on the folder, properties, security, advanced, owner tab, change, change the owner to yourself, check the box at the bottom left (replace subdirectories, etc.) allowed me to restart the VS 2005 installer and it will start. I ignored the compatibility errors and selected "Run Program".
