dotnet installers do nothing

fostandy

Howdy, I have a fresh install of vista ultimate sp1 which I am trying
to install visual studio 2008 to.

When I run the installer it basically stalls at "Setup is loading
installation components", doing nothing (a copy of the
dd_install_vs_p rocore_90.txt log is available here: http://pastebin.com/mf8b203
.. The dd_error_vs_pro core_90.txt is empty. ). I was not able to google
much for this but one similar problem with vs2005 suggested installing
dotnet before running visual studio so I tried this.

I ran the dotNetFx35setup .exe and clicked continue when UAC prompts
for permission to continue. The exe loads in the task manager and then
does nothing, using 860k of memory.

I downloaded a copy of dotNetFx35setup .exe with the same results. I
then downloaded the dotnetfx35.exe redistributable and ran it - once
again, same results.

Not two weeks ago I had managed to successfully install visual studio
2008 to the same computer (a lenovo t61p) running vista business
edition and and otherwise similar setup (I believe I was using
nvidia's 169 drivers while I am currently using the 173 but figured
this should not really have an effect).

Considering this is a 36 hour fresh install of vista this is quite
annoying. Googling for various combinations of 'dotnet install hang
vista' has not found anything substantive so I was hoping somebody
here might be able to advise me as to how to install dotnet/vs2k8.

Fixed this by running the dotnet fx cleanup tool. After that, 3.5
framework installed fine, and so did vs2k8

distutils for non-python windows installers

by: Brian Elmegaard | last post by:

Hi, I can find a few questions regarding the use of distutils for making non-python windows installers, but none of them really helps. Are there any pointers on how to do this? Can it be done? A little OT: What about making MSI installation files instead of .exe? Is it a good idea to consider at all?

What's a good 3rd party tool for creating MSI installers?

by: Peter Steele | last post by:

I've been using Visual Studio Setup projects to create my application installers but Setup projects seem to be a tad limited. What's a good alternative? I'd prefer something that doesn't cost an arm and a leg like InstallShield, and I assume there must be something out there. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm having a problem with the .NET installers that I create using Visual Studio .NET.

This of course is very annoying and useless since the application already seems to be fully installed and functioning as expected. ...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
