re: Solving setup errors by using the SubInACL tool to repair file and registry permissions

Aaron Stebner — Tue, 21 May 2013 22:46:02 GMT

Hi Rajesh Mishra - Your Visual Studio 2012 log file shows a bunch of errors like the following:

[08FC:0BD0][2013-05-21T22:57:53]: Error 0x80070005: Failed to move C:\Users\RAJESH\AppData\Local\Temp\{f9024a51-ab45-4a46-b597-ce12f74963c7}\vs_preclean_vs to C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\.unverified\vs_preclean_vs

Instead of using SubInAcl, I'd suggest trying to manually update the permissions on your Package Cache folder to see if that will solve this error. You can find a tutorial that shows how to do this at www.wikihow.com/Change-File-Permissions-on-Windows-7.

re: How to perform a silent repair and uninstall of the .NET Framework 2.0 SP2 and 3.0 SP2

Hi Jillie K - This blog post includes repair command lines for the .NET Framework. You should be able to use those to repair the .NET Framework 2.0 without needing to uninstall + re-install it. There are cases where that type of repair will fail though, and in those cases you'll likely need to uninstall + re-install instead.

@Aaron Stebner

I ran this test:

subinacl /subdirectories %ProgramFilesPath%\

First file reported is:

+File C:\app\7pdfmaker\App\7-PDFMaker\lib\App\OOo\program

So last subinacl cmd in your script should have double quotes around "%ProgramFilesPath%\"

Anyone who has run this may have changed any folder called "program" or "files" as effectively running this on entire drive:

"subinacl /subdirectories C:\Program"

"subinacl /subdirectories Files"

This idea of fixing Net Framework 2, is great, except that you do not leave any directions as to how to do it, and I would like to repair rather than reinstal it.

Thank you. Jill

re: Cannot install .NET Framework 1.0 service packs if .NET Framework 4 or 4.5 is installed

This issue of not being able to install .NET 1.0 Framework after installation for .NET 4.0 is documented in the readme of .NET 4.0. However it mentions nothing of Service Packs or Security Updates/Hotfix installation issues after .NET 4.0 is installed. The .NET 4.5 Framework readme mentions nothing of .NET 1.0 in the release notes at all probably because it was out of support by the time .NET 4.5 was released.

After uninstall of .NET 4.0/4.5, .NET 1.0 should be installed followed by .NET 1.0 SP3 and KB928367. This should get you up-to-date as Windows Update would update you. I don't know if you need any more Hotfixes after this install order, but do that before you install .NET 4.0/4.5

From .NET 4.0 readme:

2.1.1.3 The .NET Framework 1.0 cannot be installed after the .NET Framework 4 is installed

The .NET Framework 1.0 cannot be installed after the .NET Framework 4 is installed. The .NET Framework 1.0 must be installed before the .NET Framework 4 is installed.

To resolve this issue:

1.Go to control panel and open programs and features.

2.Uninstall the .NET Framework 4 Extended.

3.Uninstall the .NET Framework 4 Client Profile.

4.Install the .NET Framework 1.0.

***Modifying Readme File***

5.Install the .NET Framework 1.0 Service Pack 3.

6.Install the .Net Framework 1.0 Service Pack 3 Security Update (KB928367)

***End Modifying Readme File***

5(or 7).Install the .NET Framework 4. 4.5

re: How to fix compatibility mode error that can appear when installing Windows Phone Developer Tools or Visual Studio 2010

Aaron Stebner — Thu, 16 May 2013 02:34:41 GMT

Hi Katrina - The file will only be named vm_web.exe if you are trying to install the Windows Phone SDK. If you are installing another Visual Studio edition, the name will be the name of the setup executable of the edition that you are trying to install. I'd suggest looking for any Visual Studio edition names in those Application Compatibility registry keys and deleting them, or copying your Visual Studio installer to a different location and running it from there instead.

Hi John - No, the issue in the post only affects the .NET Framework 1.0, not 1.1 or any other versions.

Do you see the files from assemblylist.txt on your computer? If they're missing, you might need to use the steps at blogs.msdn.com/.../how-to-repair-the-net-framework-2-0-and-3-0-on-windows-vista.aspx to run SFC to restore the files. If that doesn't help, you might need to repair/reinstall Windows Server 2003 to fix this type of error.
