hi

i did, stoped windows update service and rebote my machine but still same problem

please HELP

thanks

I have the same issue!

On my machine I know it's down to the manifest file being just full of spaces instead of containing XML. The file in question is C:\Windows\WinSxS\manifests\x86_policy.8.0.microsoft.vc80.mfc_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.762_none_8a14c0566bec5b24.manifest

The main Problem is the file is protected by Windows, so I can't even overwrite it.

Best of luck!

Lee.

I have the same problem - disabling Windows update did not help me. I can't delete the files Lee mentioned, but they're not empty either, and seem ok.

Windows 7 here, 64 bit. I thought this error was due to me installing Expression Studio, so I uninstalled expression + vs2008, and now I can't get anything to install.. very, very, very frustrating issue!

Thank you for the tips. The 2nd method worked for me. System installed: Win7 ultimate 64bit on Core 2 Dual laptop.

first during the step "Microsoft Visual Studio 2008" the installer dies on:

Executing action: HxMerge_VSIPCC_VSCC_x86_enu

(msiconfig, Normal Startup)

next, i reboot, but with windows installer enable and Remote Procedure Call enable. (msiconfig, with Selective Startup)

next, i try install, but get this error.

what are the services that i need?

(i dissable windows upday just now )

This HELPED and it worked!

I read to the bottom of the article, and saw,

"If the .NET Framework 1.0 is not installed correctly on your computer, you may notice the behavior that is mentioned in the "Symptoms" section. Therefore, make sure that the installation of the .NET Framework 1.0 is complete before you try to install Visual Studio .NET."  

WOW!  You need 1.0 installed?!  WTF? I installed 1.0, and bingo-bango, it worked.  

I REBOOTED THE SYSTEM AND TURNED OFF AVG ANTIVIRUS AND THE INSTALLATION CARRIED ON...

VS 2008 on Vista Home produced this same error for me. However, as another suggested... installing Framework 1.1 and a reboot did the trick.

FYI... I left my AVG running but DID disable Adaware

I was unable to turn off udates, but managed to complete install after forced reboot than, second reboot.  Not sure what was causing the problem in the first place, but that got me passed it anyhow.  

thanks

Hi guys! I faced same issue during VS2010 installation. I had installed VS2010 Professional, uninstall it and tried to install VS2010 Ultimate. Now I cannot finish this task because of error message that getting.

I installed Msizap.exe and executed command 'Msizap TP {B43357AA-3A6D-4D94-B56E-43C44D09E548}' but face same error message again! In cmd I got message that there is no files were found. Is it necessary to have installed older versions of .NET framework (1.1, 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5) if I have installed last version 4.0? In this moment I have installed all mentioned versions, only 1.0 missing and it is not possible to install it because system recognizes 1.1 as newer version and don't allow installation of old one. Tried to uninstall .NET framework and install it again, but it didn't solve my problem, same error message again...

Do you know what can be reason for so weird behavior???
