I am trying to install the design-time components of System.Data.Sqlite -- I want to be able to connect to SQLite databases from within Visual Studio, execute queries, and retrieve data.
As per the instructions on the System.Data.Sqlite downloads page, I downloaded the setup bundle for 32-bit Windows, targeting .NET 4.6.
When I try to install, I get the following error:
Failed to install Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime: vcredist_x86_2015_VSU2.exe, Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue. To configure or remove the existing version of this product, use Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel
I am running Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition Update 3, with cumulative hotfixes, available here; on Windows 10 64-bit.
I tried uninstalling the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x86) and rerunning the VS 2015 Community Edition hotfix installer to reinstall it, and then rerunning the SQLite installer, but the same error still occurred.
How can I resolve this?
You were oh-so-close to the solution. You've just got a couple steps backwards.
The issue is that the System.Data.Sqlite package includes VC++ Update 2, but you've already got the newer Update 3 installed. Rather than recognize there's already a newer version installed, all the setup program sees is that installing U2 failed and bails out. So, we need to let it do its thing and install the U2 package to get past that point:
Uninstall "Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x86) - 14.0.24212"
Install the Sqlite package
THEN re-install Update 3
I tried to install VS 2015 Community (free) on two different computers (both Windows 7 Professional). And the installation fails on both. The error message says:
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.1 Developer Pack.
Incorrect function
You probably need to install
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.1 Developer Pack first
Can be found here and hit download button compatible with the latest windows 10 system
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49978
Then try and re install VS 2015 Community it should work
As had this problem before when I installed 2013 but putting the .net framework on before cured it and VS 2013 installed with no problems
I have a Windows 7 Express, with Visual Studio 2012. When I run it I get this message:
"C:\windows\system32\MSVCR110.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try reinstalling the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support".
I tried these things:
Repairing Visual Studio with installation.
Uninstalling and installing again.
Installing .Net framework manually.
Installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable
Getting the .dll from a computer with a working Visual Studio 2012.
Using a different installation of Visual Studio.
Nothing worked and I have no idea what's the problem.
The two installations that I've used worked on different computers with the same operating system.
Please I need ideas!!
Do you have Windows 7 Service Pack 1 installed? If Not do that first.
Even after that you have two options:
Remove & Reinstall by downloading a new copy of Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4
Check System requirements section carefully it requires Windows 7 Service Pack 1 installed to work.
Reinstall Visual Studio 2012 with Update 4
I'm now working on RC Windows 7 and installed Visual Studio 2008 Professional edition. But I need to work with Java programs, and so I needed to work with Visual Studio 2005. I installed Visual Studio 2005 SP1 (VS80sp1-KB926747), but I have the following problem:
"The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded 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 previously had the same problem when I installed the Visual Studio SDK, February2007.
I had a similar problem when I was installing Visual Studio 2005 Professional on a Windows 7 machine.
But here is what I did to fix the problem:
Install Visual Studio 2005 Professional
During the install, a window popped up saying that VS2005 might not be compatible with Windows 7. Ignore this warning and continue.
Install Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2005 Team Suite Service Pack 1
VS80sp1-KB926601-X86-ENU.exe
Link: Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2005 Team Suite Service Pack 1
Install Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista
VS80sp1-KB932232-X86-ENU.exe
Link: Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista
Note:
If you try and install #3 before #2, you will end up with a message that says :
"The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded 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."
Hope it helps.
BBlake is right look at: https://superuser.com/questions/34190/visual-studio-2005-sp1-refuses-to-install-in-windows-7
It looks like you're trying to install SP1 (the patch) without having first installed Visual Studio 2005 (the application). The SP1 install is only for patching an existing installation.
I seem to be completely unable to install the Windows 7 SDK onto my machine, and the only solution I've found on the web is to make a swathe of registry changes. I've done this - still no success.
This is the reported error:
A problem occurred while installing selected Windows SDK components.
Installation of the "Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7" product has reported the following error: Please refer to Samples\Setup\HTML\ConfigDetails.htm document for further information.
Please attempt to resolve the problem and then start Windows SDK setup again. If you continue to have problems with this issue, please visit the SDK team support page at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=130245.
Click the View Log button to review the installation log.
To exit, click Finish.
There is no Samples directory to refer too, and the SDK support team don't appear to live there any longer.
How do I fix this problem?
Microsoft now has a knowledge base article called Windows SDK Fails to Install with Return Code 5100 that describes this problem and its fix:
This issue occurs when you install the Windows 7 SDK on a computer that has a newer version of the Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable installed. The Windows 7 SDK installs version 10.0.30319 of the Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable.
The error message is located in the log file, which can be opened through the View Log button in the installer. Otherwise, it can be found here: %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Temp\ or %temp%. The log file is most likely called SDKSetup_7.xxxxx.log.
Solution: Uninstall any existing Visual C++ 2010 redistributable.
I just had this problem, and I looked at the solution at Ctrl+F5, Fix Problem Installing Windows SDK for Windows 7, but it didn't work.
I googled around and found the page Installing Visual C++ 2010 and Windows SDK for Windows 7: offline installer and installation troubleshooting and the advice there worked. Basically you could have one of several problems, and you have to look in the log file to see what's going on. In my log file I had:
6:17:07 PM Saturday, October 01, 2011: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Setup\SFX\vcredist_x64.exe installation failed with return code 5100
so as that above web page suggested, I uninstalled both copies of the Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package that I had (both x86 and x64), and then when I ran the Windows 7 SDK installer again, it worked.
Although you might have a different problem than me. Try the solutions at the Ctrl+F5 and patheticcockroach.com websites that I linked.
I hoped this helped!
All of these (and other) solutions have failed completely for me so I figured out another.
You need the offline installation package (mine was x64), and you need to manually install only the samples. Opening the ISO-file with, for example, 7-Zip from location Setup\WinSDKSamples_amd64 and running WinSDKSamples_amd64.msi did this for me.
Then you just use the normal setup file to REPAIR the installation and choose whatever components you wish.
You should really check the log. It seems that quite a few components can cause the Windows SDK installer to fail to install with this useless error message. For instance it could be the Visual C++ Redistributable Package as mentioned there.
I have had this same problem with the x64 version installation. It relates (in my case at least) to the dexplore.exe installation. I uninstalled dexplore, reinstalled it, did a heap of registry changes, etc. as per various blogs and SDKs all to no avail. What finally fixed it for me was editing this registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer\DisableBrowse
I changed the value to 0. Once the SDK had installed (quite happily this time) I set the value back to 1.
What alerted me to the possible error was the following in the SDK setup log:
12:19:42 PM Friday, 8 January 2010: SFX C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Setup\SFX\dexplore.exe installation started with log file C:\TEMP\Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7_dd2d9383-116d-441f-85b3-7c16aeb3568e_SFX.log
12:19:47 PM Friday, 8 January 2010: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Setup\SFX\dexplore.exe installation failed with return code 1625
And this in the dexplore installation logfile:
MSI (s) (E4:7C) [12:19:46:680]: Machine policy value 'DisableBrowse' is 1
MSI (s) (E4:7C) [12:19:46:680]: Adding new sources is not allowed.

I hope this is of assistance in your situation.
One of the things to also keep in mind is that when you have Visual Studio 2010 SP1 installed some C++ compilers and libraries may have been removed. There's been an update made available by Microsoft to make sure those are brought back to your system.
Install this update to restore the Visual C++ compilers and libraries
that may have been removed when Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1
(SP1) was installed. The compilers and libraries are part of the
Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit for Windows 7 and the .NET
Framework 4 (later referred to as the Windows SDK 7.1).
Also, when you read the VS2010 SP1 README you'll also notice that some notes have been made in regards to the Windows 7 SDK (See section 2.2.1) installation. It may be that one of these conditions may apply to you and therefore may need to uncheck the C++ compiler-checkbox as the SDK installer will attempt to install an older version of compilers ÓR you may need to uninstall VS2010 SP1 and re-run the SDK 7.1 installation, repair or modification.
Condition 1: If the Visual C++ Compilers checkbox is selected when the
Windows SDK 7.1 is installed, repaired, or modified after Visual
Studio 2010 SP1 has been installed, the error may be encountered and
some selected components may not be installed.
Workaround: Clear the Visual C++ Compilers checkbox before you run the
Windows SDK 7.1 installation, repair, or modification.
Condition 2: If the Visual C++ Compilers checkbox is selected when the
Windows SDK 7.1 is installed, repaired, or modified after Visual
Studio 2010 has been installed but Visual Studio 2010 SP1 has not been
uninstalled, the error may be encountered.
Workaround: Uninstall Visual Studio 2010 SP1 and then rerun the
Windows SDK 7.1 installation, repair, or modification.
However, even then I found that I still needed to uninstall any existing Visual C++ 2010 redistributables, as has been suggested by mgrandi.
I could never get the Windows 7 SDK to install either, and it suggested I remove the latest SDK and Visual Studio 2012 Express. That didn't work.
There was also something about .NET 3.5. I installed the Server 2008 SDK with .NET 3.5, uninstalled Visual Studio 2010 redistributables and made sure redistributables were unchecked in the installation options.
Also, you need the .NET 4 framework already installed, which you can download from Microsoft's site. Then it worked.
Uninstalling all C++ redistributables and unchecking the C++ option worked for me. Note that I have VS2010 SP1, and VS2012 installed already.
mgrandi provided a very good resource and answer. I followed similar guidelines and by removing 'leftover' components managed to solve the problem.
As a reference, take a look at Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4 Release Notes.
This downloads the release notes of the SDK (you should also have it on your computer after trying to install the SDK), and in the section 'Installing and Uninstalling the Windows SDK' you can see that Microsoft recommend cleaning some mess after them.
I installed Visual Studio 2012 and installed Visual Studio 2010 service package 1 and tried installing the SDK again, and it worked. I don't know which of them solved the problem.
I'm having the same error as this "Windows 7 SDK installation failure":
After finding out, I've got the solution.
It may also happen that the SDK installation runs through with a "success" message at the end, but nothing was actually installed. The only way to really find out whether the SDK was installed is to check the respective directory. C:Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1 or C:Files (x 86) SDKs\Windows\v7.1. If the subdirectory "v 7.1" was created and has some content, the SDK was installed. The solution for this problem is the same as for the issue with the error message: Uninstall Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable (see below).
Resolution: Uninstall Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable installations prior to Windows SDK installation.
Before the installation, I had the following Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable installations. Note that the x 64 version is updated.
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable x 64-Microsoft Corporation 10.0.40219 15.2 MB 10.0.40219
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable-x 86 10.0.30319 Microsoft Corporation 11.0 MB 10.0.30319
I'd like to add that removing the Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable may be necessary, too. I removed both the Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable x84 and x64 and then my installation worked.
Do you have access to a PC with Windows 7, or a PC with the SDK already installed?
If so, the easiest solution is to copy the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1 folder from the Windows 7 machine to the Windows 8 machine.
