Re: visual basic 2008 on vista error

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hello jeffery,

have a problem installing visual basic 2008 express edition web
install on vista it completed installing the runtime components
successfully and then it says ".net framework 3.5 and the other
components could not be installed". how do i fix this? any help
because it acts like it installed all the components correctly then
says they couldnt be installed and when i run the continue script it
just starts downloading and installing every component from the
beginning except the runtime files. it will not install the dot net
framework 3.5 on vista and iam pretty sure it may be 64 bit vista but
it may still be a 32 bit version. any help would be appreciated and
this one stumped me because it looks like its working correctly.

I'm afraid I have nothing to offer other than hope in this area.

I am successfully running VS2008 Professional on Vista ultimate 64bit.

So it should work. Express is a cut down version.

Perhaps you could ensure that you are running the setup routine with administrator privilages, although I do not remember if I di that when I installed.

The only issue I have had with VS2008 is with development in conjunction with IIS where the upgrade process of a VS"005 site required administrative privilages and made a bad job of telling me this was what was wrong.

Perhaps others will have something more constructive to offer
