Hi Ray Go - Yes, it should be possible to install VS 2008 on Windows 7 - I have it installed on my Windows 7 computer currently.

The error you are getting sounds like it might be due to a corrupt download of the setup package that you're installing from. I'd suggest trying to re-download and re-run VS 2008 setup to see if that helps resolve this error.

Aron,

Is it possible to install VS 2008 (90 day trial) on windows 7 ?

I un installed .Net 4 and verified 3.5 and 3.5 sp1 successfully .

I tried installing VS 2008 in both Win 7 enterprise and home premium edition .In both the o/s I got the same error missing NetFX2.0-KB936704-v6000-x86_RTM_en.msu file from bootstrapper directory.

I do have SQL 2008 installed on my Win 7 enterprise machine. But it shouldn't really matter.

Is there clean step by step approach

My friends were able to install VS 2008 on Win XP Pro without any problem.

Basically I need asp_net compiler to build a web site and make dll and make file, Do you have any other route?

Hi MVadu - I agree with Raymond's comments in that post. I've seen a lot of setup programs that don't try to do anything to detect the install state of the .NET Framework because they assume that it will be present as a part of the OS, and that isn't something that should be relied on unless you're creating a line of business application that will only be installed in a known, controlled set of machines with known versions of the .NET Framework.

There is one issue here though - there is not a standalone installer for some versions of the .NET Framework for some versions of Windows. For example, there is not a .NET Framework 2.0 SP2 installer for Windows Vista - instead you have to install the latest Windows Vista service pack to get 2.0 SP2. If you are going to redirect your users to a .NET Framework installer as a part of your application's setup, you need to be careful about covering the cases where a standalone .NET Framework installer is not available for some versions of Windows. I've seen some application installers that point users to the redistributable .NET Framework 2.0 or 3.5 installer on Windows Vista and Windows 7, and that installer will not allow the user to install on some of those versions of Windows.

A list of exact version numbers would be useful too, for example whhich one is 2.0.50727 ? Forgive me if I've just not looked hard enough.
