Visual Studio 2010 Express installation. Error 1935

Question

I'm trying to install Visual Studio 2010 Express. I got error 1935 during installation process. I tried many workarounds but still cant install it. I don't want to reinstall windows. Could some one help me?

Answer 1

Have you had a look the post on Joy Bhattacherjee's blog, which describes fixing error 1935?

UPDATE

Have you tried installing it from a different location? Specifically installing it from your local hard drive?

UPDATE 2

Try repairing the highest level of the .Net Framework on your PC. If that doesn't work, you might want to check that your registry setting are ok (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2007/06/12/3260076.aspx)

UPDATE 3

It might be down to something else you have installed. Do you have other versions of Visual Studio? Ever installed any VS2010 betas? Something to uninstall or reinstall.

UPDATE 4

Have you tried using the web installer? http://www.microsoft.com/express/downloads/#2010-Web-Platform-Installer . You could also try one of the trial versions instead of the Express version. http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-gb/download , that might clean up the problem for the future.
