Using the VS 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5 setup log collection tool, I collected my information and posted it here: http://www.ndmental.com/vs2008InstallError.cab

I got my error and was unable to install vs, so I manually installed .net 3.5, and did a series of updates, but I still get the same error:

[12/11/07,13:18:49] setup.exe: [2] ISetupComponent:re/Post/Install() failed in ISetupManager::InternalInstallManager() with HRESULT -2147023293.

I'm running Server 2003, and installing VS 2008 Pro. I never installed any previous beta versions, and I don't have any office development tools installed

Thank you for your assistance,

bd

Hi:

After checking your log file we find this,

[12/11/07,16:00:26] Microsoft Document Explorer 2008: [2] Error unpackaging e:\setup\..\wcu\dexplore\dexplore.exe: Corrupt cabinet

So would you please run the dexplore.exe directly to check out whether you can install VS2008 Document Explorer solely and then start the VS08 installation.

if you can not run dexplore.exe solely,then what is your VS 2008 edition and where you got them from? If it is on a disc, I suggest copy the content to HD then continue installation, if it is downloaded from somewhere please try to redownload it.

when running dexplore.exe I simply get the error message 'Program too big to fit in memory'.

So my download is simply corrupt you're saying?

This resolved the issue I was having with the install

i got the same error when trying to install the web authoring component tool:
[09/05/08,15:37:45] setup.exe: [2] ISetupComponent::Pre/Post/Install() failed in ISetupManager::InternalInstallManager() with HRESULT -2147023293.
[09/05/08,15:37:45] VS70pgui: [2] DepCheck indicates Microsoft Visual Studio Web Authoring Component is not installed.
[09/05/08,15:37:45] VS70pgui: [2] DepCheck indicates Microsoft Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Suite - ENU was not attempted to be installed.
[09/05/08,15:37:45] VS70pgui: [2] DepCheck indicates Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office system (version 3.0 Runtime) was not attempted to be installed.
...

the logs don't say much and this is a relatively freshly installed box with no previous betas or silverlight.
i try to install the webcore directly, but it doesan't appear to install. dwl20.exer is the only thing extracted and then does nothing. extracting all the files thru unzip yields a lot more, running setup in that directory indicates an error:
EventType : office12setup P1 : {10120000-0f00-0000-0000--0000000ff1ce}

This is on an AMD 64 bit system by the way if that matters

Hi feinbd - I had exactly the same problem. It is caused by a bug when you have Terminal Services enabled in Relaxed Security mode on 64-bit server 2003 (obscure I know!). You can fix it by either switching to full security TS or with a registry fix. I used the registry fix and it worked.

There's a microsoft KB article about this - it refers to Office 07 install but it seems ot spring from the same cause as the VS08 install problems.

I had the same problem too. I solved it by uninstalling Microsoft Office 2007. You can get more information about this issue here.

Hellow:

After running dexplore.exe, the installation succeed.  But I dont Know why.

Thanks.
