[EDIT]

I tried to install the Express Edition off MS's website but it's giving me EXACTLY the same error !

[EDIT2]

I deleted the previous versions of .Net framework etc..then re installed and it said

"Microsoft Visual Studio Macro Tools & MS SQL Server 2008 Express Service pack FAILED to install!"

So now I dont see no SQL server on my PC..Also Visual Studio was at least opening for a day but now it won't even open

The error it gives is this :-

How do I make it work now ? Again install ? Again delete the programs ? Do I need to erase everything related to VS and .net framework etc and again run setup ??

Answer 1

Don't try to install the BETA, install the final release.

Also ensure that you have properly elevated the account when you were asked for.

If it still doesn't work, contact Microsoft, support is included with Visual Studio licenses you purchased.

Answer 2

Make sure you have admin privileges on the install folders. Also delete existing files in there if present.

Answer 3

• Are you logged on as admin?
• Is UAC disabled
• Does the 'Administrators' group have 'Full Control' on the install folder, Docs & settings folder, and any other folder that might be altered by the install (c:\windows etc)
• Are you installing off CDROM ? Is your drive installed correctly? Try downloading the latest version and loading the ISO with Daemon Tools in stead of burning to CDROM.

Answer 4

Try to put the dll in the error, in the same folder with exe

Also this question looks like a superuser.com question, try there too.

Answer 5

Try this:

1. Uninstall everything Visual Studio Related.

2. Uninstall .net framework.

3. Reboot.

4. Install .net framework 3.5

5. Install .net framework 3.5 SP1

6. Install .net framework 4.0

7. try installing visual studio -

The errors you are getting are because of:

1. The version you are trying to install is wrong.
2. Your windows is a debug / unchecked version - you might want to upgrade your windows or reinstall.
