Can't Install Visual Studio C++ 2010 Express Edition.
10 replies, posted
For some reason I can't install Visual Studio C++ 2010, I've recently wanted to get into programming (I bought a book) but apparently everytime I install, the second I go to install the Prerequisites on restart the install fails and says it cannot install the rest of the components.
Now I've done everything, run the install in administrator, cleared out my %temp%, reinstalled all my .Net Framework stuff and my Redistributable packages and now it appears I'm also getting an error from my .Net Framework 4 Install the log gives me this error:
[code]Returning IDOK. INSTALLMESSAGE_ERROR [Error occurred while initializing fusion. ]

Ok, thanks Bohb that helped me install .Net Framework 4 correctly without failure, but now I am back to square one Visual C++ 2010 Express Edition will not install.
Now what is happening is it installs the first 2 components of the package fine, then asks to restart, once my computer restarts and starts installing the Visual C++ Runtime Prerequisites x64 the install fails and it gives me a window stating that it failed to install 6 of the other components aswell.
It also gives me the option to add a shortcut to the desktop to install the files later, but the same issue occurs it freezes up while installing the Runtime Prerequisites.
Are you sure you have a 64bit OS?

Of course. I have no idea what the problem is but I'm beginning to think the only solution I have if I don't get one anytime soon will be to perform a complete reset :(
That error code (and what it is doing) is a form of windows update. Go through this first: [url]http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976982[/url]
Then go through this if the above does not work:

Also use the fixit app to see if it can do a search through the KB index to find fixes.

Thanks Jordguitar I went through all this stuff twice, still the same problem. I'm just going to reinstall my OS the problem seems to be that the install is corrupt and the Framework that installs with it is simply broken.
Actually because I can't reset anytime soon (way to much music that I can't backup), I think I have another idea which should work. I fixed my .Net Framework by copying the Microsoft.NET folder from a friends laptop.
That fixed the Framework packages but the install still crashes on the Prerequisite stage of the install.
I was just wondering do you guys know where the files such as the Runtime Prerequisites x64 are installed too? I tried to copy my friends Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 folders in his Program Files (x86) but those appear to merely be install files among other things.
I was hoping if you guys could point me in the right direction I could copy over those folders and I'd be finally done with this issue.
Anybody :(.
