RIA .NET service installation error

Question

I am trying to install Microsoft .NET RIA services Preview (RiaServices.msi) on a machine running Windows 7 RC + Visual Studio 2008 SP1, and get the following error: "2908. Error while installing assembly System.Web.DomainServices.Tools.VisualStudio, version 1.0.0.0.."

Anybody else had this problem? What should I look at?

Answer 1

There is a post here that may help.

You might also try starting the MSI on Win7 by opening a command prompt as an admin, then running the MSI from that command prompt.

Answer 2

Thank you very much for your guidance. I tried some registry hacking that was mentioned in the article, but it didn't work. Ended up reinstalling Silverlight 3 SDK, and RIA services installed without any problem.
