Visual C++ 2008 Feature Pack Refresh

Per our previous announcement regarding the Feature Pack deployment & setup issues, we have subsequently released a refresh of the Visual C++ 2008 Feature Pack. You can obtain the refresh from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=d466226b-8dab-445f-a7b4-448b326c48e7&displaylang=en. Here is a summary of the issues that were fixed as part of the refresh effort:

 

Issue

Status

Feature Pack failed to install on German OS or English OS with German locale.

 

Fixed.

 

VCRedist_x86.exe failed to install on Vista and Windows Server 2008

Fixed.

VCRedist_x86.exe installs the ATL and OpenMP assemblies with the wrong processor architecture, which will cause ATL and OpenMP applications targeting x86 to fail.

 

Fixed.

MFC & CRT .manifest files located under Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\redist had older manifest versions

 

Fixed.

 

 

If you installed the original version of the Feature Pack (binary version = 9.0.30304.0), we strongly recommend you uninstall that version and install the new bits. To uninstall the older bits,

 

·         (On Vista and Windows Server 2008) Control Panel->Programs->Programs and Features, click on “View Installed Updates” in the “Tasks” panel at left.

·         (On other operating systems) Control Panel->Add or Remove Programs, check the “Show Updates” checkbox at the top of the page.

 

o   Uninstall the design time components

Expand the group for your Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 installation to show all updates, uninstall the Update Roll Up for Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 –ENU(KB945273) and Update Roll Up for Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 –ENU(KB947886). You may have only one update (KB945273) to uninstall if you do not have 64-bit VC components installed on your machine.

 

o   Uninstall the runtime components

Under the group “Visual C++ 9.0”(expand it if needed), uninstall “Visual C++ 2008 Feature Pack - x86 - v9.0.30304.00” and “Visual C++ 2008 Feature Pack - x64 - v9.0.30304.00”. You may have only the x86 runtime to uninstall if you do not have 64-bit VC components installed on your machine.

 

Thanks,

Is there or will there be a downloadable, offline version of the TR1 and MFC update documentation for the Feature Pack?

# re: Visual C++ 2008 Feature Pack Refresh

Do I need to recompile/link all my libraries (boost for example) and exe's to the "new" runtime components?

Wednesday, April 23, 2008 1:22 PM by Ayman Shoukry

# re: Visual C++ 2008 Feature Pack Refresh

Hello Koby, the offline version of the documentation will be available with the VS2008 SP1 update.

Hello Grodon, you don't need to recompile your older applications unless you will be making use of the new feature pack features in which you will need to rebuild.

Thanks,

Ayman Shoukry

# re: Visual C++ 2008 Feature Pack Refresh

The new installer is crashing for me. I removed the previous feature pack installation, as per the instructions on this blog post, and then tried to install the refresh.

I find this error in the installation log file:

Exe (c:\dd06f0bf0ff496a3b1abac8fb2ed\VC_x86Runtime.exe) failed with HRESULT 80070643

Installation failed with error code: (0x80070643), Fatal error during installation.

Big E,

Could you please check the the %temp% folder for detailed logs? Those log should indicate what the problem is.

If detailed logs do not exist, you can enable verbose logging by setting the following two registry values:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer

"Logging"="oicewarmupv"

"Debug"=dword:00000002

And then re-try installing the Feature Pack.

Thanks,

# re: Visual C++ 2008 Feature Pack Refresh

During installing the featurePack I got the hint :

'None of the products that are addressed by this sw update are installed on this computer.'

But I'd installed VS2008 Prof. ?

What's going wrong,

Thanks,

Didi

Hi almidi,

Could you post the VS version you used? Also, is it an ENU version of VS that you are using?

Thanks,

Ayman Shoukry

Hello Liveck,

The feature pack is an english only release. Once it is rolled into SP1, it will support all languages supported by Visual Studio.

Thanks,

Ayman Shoukry

# re: Visual C++ 2008 Feature Pack Refresh

I'm using VS2008 Developer Edition, Windows Vista x64 (SP1) and still can't run the installer.

'None of the products that are addressed by this sw update are installed on this computer.'

Still a setup bug ?
