Hi Mac2142,

As I learnt from the post above, you are trying to web install the Visual C++ 2008 Express edition, I am not sure, perhaps you can check the following points to fix this error.

1. If you have installed any previous Visual Studio 2008 versions, please Uninstalling Previous Versions of Visual Studio 2008.

2. If you have Windows XP, please make sure you use windows update to SP2 or later.

3. Ensure you have windows installer 3.1 installed properly.

4. Install the .Net framework 3.5 before you install the Visual Studio 2008 express.

5. Try to check your Visual Studio 2008 setup log file to get the cause.

If these points fails to work, perhaps you can try the offline installation, to do this, download the All-in-One DVD from the LINK below.

In addtion to VS 2008 express,check the Visual Studio 2008 Express Editions Readme

Hi Mac2142,

Could you collect your setup logs using the utility at http://blogs.msdn.com/heaths/archive/2008/05/09/visual-studio-and-net-log-collection-utility.aspxand share the cab file with us?

You can sign up for 5 GB of space online from http://skydrive.live.com with only a Microsoft Live Passport if you need it.

Hi,

I'm also having a similiar issue with this. I used to have VC++2008 EE SP1 installed from online installer. It started to ask for that registration thing. And since that has no acess to live.com I was unable to register it. The alternative was to uninstall it and install it again from All-in-one DVD which gives me now this

Please check http://cid-07ac9212f7097639.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Visual%20C++%202008%20Express%20Edition%20SP1%20Installation%20Error for vslogs.cab, dd_error_vc_xcor_90.txt and dd_install_vc_xcor_90.txt

I'd appreciate any help.

Hi Josue,

From your setup logs I'm seeing this error:

Product: Microsoft Windows SDK for Visual Studio 2008 SP1 Express Tools for .NET Framework - enu -- Error 1714. The older version of Microsoft Windows SDK for Visual Studio 2008 SP1 Express Tools for .NET Framework - enu cannot be removed.

I'd suggestuninstalling "Microsoft Windows SDK for Visual Studio 2008 SP1 Express Tools for .NET Framework - enu" from Add/Remove programs and restart your VSExpress installation.

Thanks,

Veronica

OK. Thanks. I'll try this.

Hi,

Hi Josue,

I'm sorry to hear that you're still having issues with Express installation, could you follow the instructions at http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2005/07/01/434814.aspxto share what's installed on your machine? I'd like to see if I can figure out which product is conflicting with SDK installation.

Thanks,

Veronica

Veronica, many thanks for your help. I noticed the following product in the output of msiinv

Product code: {B4C0A315-07FB-39F9-85CD-8CE20C019350}
Product state: (1) The product is advertised, but not installed.
Package code: {9E04984A-E856-4CC4-B0BB-77625692CE0C}
AssignmentType: 1
Language: 1033
Package: WinSDK_Exptoolsm_x86.msi
0 patch packages.

Using msizap I've, well, zapped it.

The installation then ran perfectly.

Great! Thanks for letting me know.

Veronica

Veronica -

I am having the same issue, only my error is with Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition with SP1.

I have ran the MSIINV tool and found no instances of the software.

I have made sure IIS is uninstalled as well.

Any suggestions?

Thank you!
