This is the fifth time now, tried different machines, different drive sizes,even tried both Vista and XP, nothing seems to work.

I installed a virtualbox VM. Set up an OS, then try to set up VS2008.

And then the VS2008 installation crashes with the following error log

[04/13/09,14:27:31] setup.exe: [2] ISetupComponent::Pre/Post/Install() failed in ISetupManager::InternalInstallManager() with HRESULT -2147023293.

My VM typically (I tried this a lot) has a 20 GB disk and 700MB ram allotted. Everything else is default.

Anyone have any similar problems or can at least help me out with whats going on?

Sound like a problem with virtualbox, you can try to install everything on VPC then convert the vhd to vdi.

Shay Erlichmen
Thanks, but this is a brand new installation and the disk is a vdi already. Everything is brand new.
George Mauer
I know but for some strange reason MSI have problems with VMs (I saw the same issue with old VPC), again start fresh build a VHD then convert and work with the VDI.
Shay Erlichmen
Wait, so you're saying use a vhd (how to do that?) then re-install everything to that and then convert to vdi?
George Mauer
yes, download free VirtualPC, create a VM on it (XP only) install everything (Visual Studio etc) then take the created VHD and convert it.
Shay Erlichmen
wow...umm, ok. Thanks
