Trouble with C++ Express Install

Trouble with C++ Express Install

• Vinko

  When I chased down the event viewer at the time of installation, this is the error message I found. All is exactly as I found it except for the User/Computer inofrmation. I deleted those for obvious reasons. I went back earlier in the day when I first wrote my message and verified that the error message was exactly the same.
  
  Hope this helps.

  That was supposed to be "I made an installation CD and the install process still didn't work".

  Have you tried installing the .NET Framework 2.0 seperate from the Visual Studio installation Do you get similar errors
  
  You can download the framework for x86 platforms Here.

  I was under the impression that .Net 2.0 HAD to be uninstalled before you could even start the Express installation. Would having .Net 2.0 installed buy me anything by installing it
  
  Thanks,

  Thanks for the response, but unfortunately, this didn't help. I have tried several variations on performing the instalation. The one thing I did notice is that when I tried to install .Net 2.0 by itself, I got the same results. For some resaon I can not install it on my computer, but nothing conclusive as to the reason. I have opened a bug report on the Express installtion.

  There is a entry in product feedback center

  http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback/viewfeedback.aspx feedbackid=1300c0d0-445e-4b35-8a9f-f0ff852b955c

  Is that applicable and helpful for you

  You only need to uninstall VS2005 and .NET 2.0 beta and CTP versions. I wish the download pages were more clear on this.

  As suggested before, try to download and install .NET 2.0 first, it might be available via windows update.

  There should be more info in the error message, usually with a number. There should also be log-files, can you locate those

  The error listed above states that Windows Installer is unable to open the .NET Framework setup package from %windir%\installer with an "access denied" error. There are a couple of cases where I have seen this:

  1. Permission problems for the %windir%\installer folder - typically the tool and steps listed at http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2005/08/09/449720.aspx will fix the permissions and then you can re-run setup and it will work correctly

  2. Anti-virus software - if you have a real-time scanner enabled, and it happens to be scanning that file at the same time as setup is trying to open the file and install from it, you will get this error. That is a timing issue and normally re-running setup will fix it.

  Hopefully one of these will help in your scenarios.....

  Thanks! Aaron

  In lack of other ideas, can you verify you have a working installation of Windows Installer 3.1

  UPDATE:
  
  I tried to make an installation CD and tried installing through that process. It didn't work. I got exactly the same results. I guess it would have been real helpful for the installation process to have some sort of error ocde, or SOMETHING other than it didn't work as a message. This may have been a lot more informative.
  
  I look forward to getting some helpful information. This is getting real annoying that such a simple process as installing software should such a PITA.
  
  Thanks.

  Okay, scratch that. I got around that problem by installing the .NET framework separately. Now when I go through the install process, I get a very similar error stating that Visual C++ Express (the application itself) failed to download. Again, suggestions would be very much appreciated.

  I'm actually having the exact same problem. Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated by me as well.

  I am still trying to fight this problem and thought I would try it from a different angle. I was going uninstall my .Net 1.1 and even uninstall my VS 6 if necessary. When I tried to unistall the .Net 1.1 ( and assoiciated fixes), I got the following errors:
  
  Internal Error 2203, C:\WINNT\Installer\7bb4c3.ipi
  -2147287035
  
  When I tried to uninstall a different portion of the .Net, I got the same eror but indicating a different file. When I went and inspected the folder, none of these files were there. A problem Does anyone have any ideas on where to go with this I appreciate any and all help.
