RE: VS2005 SP1 for Vista Not Installing

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

The issue you had with VS 2005 SP1 is exactly the issue I'm having with the
VS 2005 SP1 Vista update. The install executes successfully and my version
updated to 8.0.50727.867 (vsvista 050727-8600) which I believe is correct,
but it still shows up in Windows Update and reinstalls over and over again.
Did you ever aply the Vista update?

Strangley, even after I applied SP1 running the batch file, SP1 was still in
my Windows Update list and it used to hang! Worse yet, since I have auto
install turned on, when I tried to shut down the machine, I had the option,
"Install updates and shutdown". When I chose the option, it was still
updating my machine after 24 hours! And, it warned me not to turn off the
machine myself!

But, I had to. After I restarted, I added the registry entry myself, did
"net stop" and then started Windows Update.

This time it went through successfully and no longer do I get SP1 in the
Windows Update list.

So, clearly, SP1 has been installed. I did not check this right after the
first attempt.

Hope this helps.

version?

Guys:

Thanks to this gentleman from Microsoft, I was able to apply SP1.
Download SP1 to your computer and run the a batch file with the following
lines:

rem It is recommended you leave a domain and reboot before running this script

rem Backup the registry key before changing it to save the current values
reg export HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Safer\CodeIdentifiers
"%TMP%\safer.reg" /y

rem Set the new value and stop Windows Installer, which will automatically
restart when the patch gets installed
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Safer\CodeIdentifiers /v
PolicyScope /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
net stop msiserver

rem Replace the name of the patch below according to which patch you
downloaded
rem This exmple silently installs the patch with verbose logging enabled
start /wait VS80sp1-KB926601-X86-ENU.exe /L*v+
"%TMP%\VS80sp1-KB926601-X86-ENU.log" /quiet

rem Delete the new value and restore previous registry values for SAFER
reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Safer\CodeIdentifiers /v
PolicyScope /f
reg import "%TMP%\safer.reg"





Venkat, please read
http://blogs.msdn.com/heaths/archive/2007/01/11/known-issues-with-visual-studio-2005-service-pack-1.aspx
for a list of known issues with SP1. From your description, you’re seeing
error 1718 (may manifest in a couple of different ways) with a workaround
documented at
http://blogs.msdn.com/heaths/archive/2007/01/11/workaround-for-error-1718.aspx.



Please try that (leaving the domain is only recommended, but not required)
and see if that works. While you’re about to install the patch, please run it
from the command prompt and pass /L*vx+ patch.log so that if 1718 isn’t the
cause, we can find out what is. If the patch still fails, please ZIP that log
file and send it to me.



Also keep in mind that the install may appear to run more than once. This is
because the patch targets multiple product, or pieces of what you installed
as part of Visual Studio. Please do not cancel the install at any time.

I have exactly the same problem. Visa 64-bit, VS2005, and the SP1 will not
install - same message as abakshi has.

Please can someone advise?

were you able to resolve this issue? I also have a similar issue but I am

I'm running Win Vista Ultimate x64 and installed VS2005, then ran MS Update,
which found a security patch for VS and installed it. I then went and
downloaded SP1 for Vista, tried to installed it, and it gave this error (says
"Windows Installer" at top):

"The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer because the
program to be upgrade may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a
different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded
exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch."

I tried restarting, to no effect. Any ideas?
