VS 2010 Beta 2 Install Error

Question

Hello,

While installing VS 2010 beta 2, I got this error:

Error 1330: A file that is required cannot be installed because a cabinet file d:\cab13.cab has an invalid digital signature.  This may indicate a file is corrupt.
Action Failure: Action Ended : InstallFinalize. Return Value 3
... Install. Return Value 3

However, VS kept installing. What repercussions does this have?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Were you trying to install into a VM? If so, you might check this blog post:

It's for VS 2008, but it appears to be the same issue with VS2010 - basically, unpack the ISO to the VM Hard Disk, and install from there.

Answer 2

Hello,

It turns out the specific reasons for the error was related to SQL express, so I won't have SQL express as a feature. Not sure why it errored; there were a lot of permissions-related issues outside the cab file failing, but I can live without that working.

Thanks.
