I'm sorry but it's totally unacceptable that after spending a long time downloading and installing SP1 and then pointing it to my VS08 Install source, that it aborts with a "Can't find MSI" and goes on unrolling EVERYTHING and not ask me again for the source!

You are only fueling the voices at work who want to stop paying for yearly MSDN accounts when you fail the utmost basic user experience.

This is SERIOUS INCOMPETENCE...

Returning IDOK. INSTALLMESSAGE_ERROR [Error 1706.An installation package for the product Microsoft Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Suite - ENU cannot be found. Try the installation again using a valid copy of the installation package 'vs_setup.msi'.]

Why, oh why, does it need 5GB free space on the windows partition when my MS VS is on the other drive? Time to do some deleting just to find out it doesn't really need any space after the instalation finishes...

Hi Jacek,

which VS product and especially which language of the product do you have installed? The error says it can't find the ENU (englich us) version of Team Suite. If you installed another language you need to download the according SP1 for that language. Above the downloads there is a filter row where you can select the language. Default was english for me which installed just flawlessly on my english VS2008.

Sven, I only have English versions of Visual Studio 2008 Team Suite, likewise for Service Pack 1.

re: Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 RTM Now Available

Jacek — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 11:01:36 GMT

This also doesn't change the fact that the installer didn't ask me again to provide the correct version (which I had already done!).

I can't believe it is that hard for Microsoft to bring up a dialog box that says "Invalid installation files found, Please try again".

re: Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 RTM Now Available

SvenC — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 11:05:50 GMT

Hi Jacek, I missed your point about the missing retry dialog. That makes sense of course. Nevertheless it is strange that you specified the correct msi but it was not accepted.

Did you use the hotfix and beta removal tool before install: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=A494B0E0-EB07-4FF1-A21C-A4663E456D9D&displaylang=en

I ran that before using the full 850MB SP1 download from MSDN. I did not use the online installer.

Visual Studio Links #64

Visual Studio Hacks — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 17:10:41 GMT

My latest in a series of the weekly, or more often, summary of interesting links I come across related to Visual Studio. Yesterday, Visual Studio 2008 SP1 and .Net 3.5 SP1 were released. Below is a list of links related to those releases: Greg Duncan

re: Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 RTM Now Available

Jacek — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 22:14:18 GMT

Sven, the machine was fairly clean. There was no beta/hotfixes.

The thing is, it didn't like the MSI from a DVD, yet when I copied the DVD to the original location it asked for (\\somewhere\deep\path), it worked the second time without prompting for the MSI.

I also agree with other commenters that needing the original source is annoying. Again Microsoft, we're in 2008, not 1998.

Just because we as developers can be super techies doesn't mean we should go thru a worse experience than a regular Joe has with XP/Vista.

re: Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 RTM Now Available

Ted. — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 22:53:29 GMT

I found the "Visual Studio .NET Prerequisistes" x64 version that was currently installed on my machine, was different from what the SP1 was looking for, and the removal tool did not detect it. So when I installed the SP it was looking for the source DVD for that component, but couldn't find it. It's possible I had an RC version of it and wasn't aware of it. So I aborted the install (it was at 95% and didn't roll back all the other patches), and then uninstalled and reinstalled the x64 Prerequisites, then applied the final patch that failed (right clicking on it and choosing "apply"). But I was surprised that I had to do this.

The VC90 CRT and MFC .msm files (Microsoft_VC90_MFC_x86.msm and Microsoft_VC90_CRT_x86.msm) don't get updated in the "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Merge Modules" folder if the modified date of the file is different to the original installed version.

The date can be changed if you use Orca to check the contents of a .msm file.

Deleteing the old .msm file and running the SP1 install wizard again will update the file.

where is Visual C++ feature pack offline documentation?

As Ayman Shoukry in <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/vcblog/archive/2008/04/22/visual-c-2008-feature-pack-refresh.aspx#8419480">this</a> post told, feature pack offline documentation will be available in VS2008 sp1.

Should I download a separate file for sp1 documentation?

re: Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 RTM Now Available

cwoods — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 17:56:40 GMT

@RJ -

The SP1 does not contain the documentation updates. IIRC it says so in either the release notes or on the download page itself in the remarks. There is a separate MSDN sp1 installer that you need to get for the documentation. It's further down on the page with the full list of new releases.

Not only did I see it installing options I'd chosen not to install in the Visual Studio setup, when it rebooted I found my administrator account trashed. I've rolled back but found that now I have to reinstall .NET (again).

I'd just managed to get a clean, error free, install of .NET thru 3.5 before installing this service pack. Now, even after system restore, I couldn't repair, remove, or reinstall any version of .NET without a third party remover. Oh well, back to Windows Update to reinstall all the .NETs and then again for their service packs and then back to reinstall Visual Studio. I think I'll forget the service pACKK this time!

BTW - Every time I install VS I get these errors in my application log:

Product: Windows Presentation Foundation -- Error 2004. Method GetFontCacheDataFolder failed. HRESULT: 0x80004005

Product: Windows Presentation Foundation -- Error 2004. Method SHGetFolderPath failed. HRESULT: 0x80004005.

It is in "Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 (SP1) Readme" http://download.microsoft.com/download/A/2/8/A2807F78-C861-4B66-9B31-9205C3F22252/VS2008SP1Readme.htm

But the link for downloading MSDN Library for Visual Studio 2008 SP1, provided in this page, is BROKEN.

Now what?

It's amusing to read all the comments because nothing has changed within DevDiv. It's about time that some heads roll.

Could someone please tell me how to install "Visual C++ 2008 Feature Pack" with SP1? I have installed SP1 but cannot find out "Standard C++ Library TR1 Extensions Reference" from the Documentation. Thanks!

re: Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 RTM Now Available

Steve — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 23:10:14 GMT

This took a while to install on my machines, (and the removal tool for the previous patches took ages too), but it got there in the end. Just a few suggestions:

1) Don't give the user the choice to shutdown services (Machine debug manager in my case), or reboot after setup. The detection code for this appears to slow the install down a lot. I pre-emptively disabled the machine debug manager on my very slow laptop before running the sp, didn't get the prompt and the install was a lot quicker than on my workstation (which did give me the prompt).

2) Try to give a time remaining/more granular install progress process. It churned away at 50% on my systems for a long time.

3) Explicitly state that there is no new TR1 documentation in the service pack (or make it easier to find if it's included). It's the only reason I installed it over the beta sp1 ;-).

Cheers,

Steve

The Feature Pack is integrated into SP1. For the documentation, see cwoods's comment above.

SP1 Final contains 16 TR1 fixes not present in SP1 Beta; see http://blogs.msdn.com/vcblog/archive/2008/08/11/tr1-fixes-in-vc9-sp1.aspx . (And it contains one nasty regression; see the comments.)

I'v been trying to download the MSDN Library for VS2008 SP1 for a few days now. But after several moments I'm only getting a file of about 3kB in size instead of the full download of approx 2.15GB!

Does anyone has the same problem or can someone at Microsoft please fix this problem? (I am able to download other huge files like MSDN Library VS2008 non-SP1).

re: Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 RTM Now Available

SvenC — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 09:56:24 GMT

@marc: try if deleting temporary internet files does help. I had the problem that a broken download was cached and the broken content was used when I tried to download again. I think pressing <ctrl> while clicking on the link should also avoid the cache but I am not absolutely sure.

If that does not work: try an alternative web browser.

re: Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 RTM Now Available

Marc — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 11:26:21 GMT

@SvenC

your suggestion did not help :(

I tried on 3 different computers (Vista and XP) but no luck.

I did not try an alternative web browser yet. I want to download stuff from Microsoft so I should also be able to use their browser, right?

Perhaps you or someone else could try if the download works? (and does not download just a few kB) Then I know there's nothing wrong with the download itself.

Thank you!

Marc, I did download the new MSDN SP1 library from the MSDN subscribers area a few days ago. So I used their download manager (File Transfer Manager) which worked for me.

If you paste the download URL you use, I will try how it works for me.

@Marc: the download works flawlessly here. I have only 100kb/s due to company network bandwidth restrictions. So I stopped after a few seconds which brought me to about 6MB of downloaded data.

Are you sitting behind a proxy? I remember that we had problems with an older version of our proxy but that was over a year ago, so I have no details anymore.

Could you try the download on another machine or from a different (direct) network location?
