Has anyone heard of a fix for the VS 2010 RC installer crash? I've seen it mentioned a couple times on Connect, but no word on a work-around.
No error message, setup just disappears.

I had this problem when I used Microsoft's vcdcontroltool to mount the ISO image.
using Virtual clone drive it worked perfectly.

Ok, you aren't going to believe this.
Display the language bar at the taskbar, right-click on it and choose settings. Then you remove the hand writing support from the list.
There is a bug in the RC for computers with touch screens, and I guess this is the problem.
The funny thing is that I don't have a touch screen.

Wow that worked!!! I had the same problem. The "Data Execution Prevention"(DEP) would kick-in and stop the installation. I was aware of the "touchscreen" issue, but I didn't think it would apply to me.Now installing VS 2010. Thanks..

I've seen some odd fixes in my time, but that takes the biscuit! Worked a charm.
