Visual Studio 2008 setup hangs while loading installation components
Today when I was working with one of my client, I came across this situation. I tried stopping the Anti Virus Services but nothing helped.
Then I thought of deleting the Temporary Folder by going to Start > Run > %Temp% > Ok . I was not able to delete the temporary files there in that folder
Then I decided to recreate the Temp Folder, Follow the below instruction:
Operating System: Windows Vista
1. Right Click My Computers
2. Click Properties
3. Click Advance System Settings
4. Go to Advance Tab and Click Environment Variables
5. Select Temp > Edit and Copy %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp
6. Click Ok and Exit the Screen
7. Suggestion to Restart the Computer
8. Go to Environment Variables again following 1 to 4 Steps
9. Select Temp > Edit and Paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp
10. Click OK and Exit
11. Now try using Visual Studio 2008 it will install
This above steps I mentioned from one of the scenario and it might be different in some cases, In case of such issues feel free to get back to me at any point of time.
