I have Visual Studio 2010 Professional version installed on my Windows 7 machine.
I am trying to install Visual Studio 2010 Service pack 1.
Every time the installation starts after some time rollback starts and installation fails.
I have tried using http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=23691
Web Installer - this downloaded around 615mb of data and later gave the above error.
Full ISO - Downloaded the completed ISO for offline setup, was around 1.5 GB but gave the same error.
I am beating my head on this for the past 2 days now. I have tried reinstalling Visual Studio 2010 also.
Error details
Fatal error during installation

Please help me on this. Thanks
I too had similar rollback issues with SP1.
Did you try verifiyng the ISO checksum as per:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/heaths/archive/2011/03/25/verify-the-iso-checksum-for-visual-studio-2010-service-pack-1-before-installing.aspx
Initially I had a bad checksum so redownloaded the ISO.
Did you try burning the ISO to a DVD, mounting the ISO as virtual drive, or extracting the ISO contents using somethign like 7zip?
I finally managed to get install working correctly when I extracted the ISO contents to a sub folder; I also scanned my hard drive for errors prior to running the setup
I also ran Disk cleanup prior - to free up disk space (with reference to disk space comment below)
I finally managed to get this working,
Below are the things I did before re-installing successfully.
Removed all Visual Stusio addins like Resharper, Akhn SVN and others
Disabled my Antivirus
Reboot
Run setup as Administrator.

As per the latest announcement from Microsoft here I'm trying to install Visual Studio 15 Preview 4 on my machine. My machine is Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise edition. I had already installed Visual Studio 15 Preview 3 but now I want to install Preview 4. The moment I try to run the installer "vs_bootstrapper.exe" downloadable from above mentioned URL it fails with following error.
Windows 7 SP1 requires KB2952664.
It shows the above message in a message box without any other redirection to some error log file or retry option.
I also tried running the installer exe with administrative privileges as well but to no success. I'm stuck. Can anyone help me if you also have faced or fixed this issue?
Note: I'm on a hyper-v box.
Visual Studio community link from Daniel A. White helped me resolve this issue. The problem is faced by many users and you can find the details here.
Quoting from the thread:
It seems that installer is looking for a file named "dismapi.dll".
This file has to be present in either %windir%\system32 or
%windir%\SysWow64 or any subdirectory.
A (dirty) workaroud is to create an empty file named dismapi.dll in
any of those directories and then you can install Preview 4... :)
As suggested in the problem thread, creating a dummy dismapi.dll file in %windir%\SysWow64 path helped me get past this issue. After creating the dummy file, the welcome page of the installer finally popped-up. The first solution to create the dummy file in %windir%\system32 didn't work for me. The two alternative solutions could be OS dependent. Mine was Windows Server 2008 R2.
I downloaded the .NET 4.5.2 Developer Pack and have since been struggling to install it on one particular 64-bit Windows 7 machine so that I can use it with Visual Studio 2013, which was successfully installed. (Worked just fine on all other machines I've installed the framework on)
It fails right near the end of the first extraction phase with a "An error was encountered. Unspecified error" and immediately deletes all the files it just extracted. I've been looking for an error log or any sort of indication of what's caused the problem - can't fine a trace of anything.
Any ideas on what I can do to get it to install?
My co-worker pointed at something that helped me. It's hard to believe but when all the files get extracted from this 350 Mb setup files they take up about 6 Gb! I had only about 4.5 Gb free on my hard drive and after some cleanup the SDK installed with no problem.
I solved that issue in the next way:
1) Extract installer as archive(just with WinRAR using mouse right button click - extract)
2) Run Setup.exe
If you get "Fatal error" on install - reboot the system. Some programs or previous actions can brake installation
During installation I am getting an error Microsoft visual studio 2013 VsGraphic Helper Dependencies RC Incorrect Function
I was trying to install from ISO image and using web installer as well, getting same error in both cases. I am on Windows 7 x64 Dell XPS 16 with VS 2012 installed
Is there any workaround?
Original blog here.
Running offline installer from ISO is possible, see if below solutions work or not.
Mount the iso with any virtual cd software
Copy the mounted content to a local folder, e.g. C:\temp\vs2013\
Run “vs_ultimate.exe” from the local folder
-->
According to this article, there is a bug when downloading and using the ISO image. The web installer is preferred. This does of course make it harder to put it on a flash drive, which is unfortunate. Tee article is also about installing on a Windows 8.1 machine, while I'm using Windows 7 Professional. However, I expect that the issue is the same.

Please bear in mind that the ISO installer leaves a lot of stuff behind when it fails - you need to uninstall it all and reboot before trying the web installer.
Visual Studio 2013 RTM is already available for download.
I didn't get any more issues during installation with this one.
I had the same issue.
Turns out that launching the setup with admin privileges worked for me.
I have the same error using:
Windows 8.1
ISO VS 2013 ultimate
I try copy contents in local, and I get the same error.
solution:
verify checksum of ISO. Get file again, copy to local.
Uninstall the failed version of 2013 from control panel -> Uninstall programs
Restart the computer
Clean %temp%
Mount ISO, execute as Administrator setup.exe
Re-run the setup again

I had the same issue, I'd downloaded the VS2013 Ultimate ISO from MSDN on Thursday when the announcement email went out but I had errors trying to install. I checked the SHA1 and it didn't match what is now on the site (Monday) so I downloaded the ISO again and it worked now.
I'm on Win7sp1 with vs2012 installed.
Just make sure you have updated your windows. (Restart windows after update)
If you have the ISO then mount it to virtual drive and then run the installer. (Don't extract and run)
Hope above instructions will help.
Note: Follow same process for VS 2015 installation.
I recently installed Windows 7, then installed Visual Studio 2008.
I would like to install SP1 for Visual Studio in order to use MVC but I got an error.
I found an answers on SO that suggested a certain patch. I anstalled the patch but still have a problem, see a screenshot here.
What to do now?
That's a very weird error. Is this just a stock Windows 7 install? Any other weird errors occurring? It could be a corruption in memory or on disk...
Yeah, I got this while trying to do the exact same thing--was even going to build an MVC app. The solution was to uninstall and reinstall Visual Studio.
i Finally found Problem And Solution
in the error log of windows vista refer error to network and disk error
then i copy all file from vs sp1 image to my hard disk and then disable network connection and it install successfully
special thanks friends
I am getting the following error when trying to install Visual Studio 2005 on my 64bit, Vista computer:
"1305.Error reading from file
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft
Visual Studio 8\Microsoft Visual
Studio 2005 Standard Edition -
ENU\SITSetup.dll"
I have successfully used the same DVD's to install Visual Studio on my old XP machine, and I can find the file (SITSetup.dll) on the DVD...and copy it off...so I don't think this is a case of having a bad DVD. At the time the error message pops up, I can see the file on my hard-drive, but it has a 0 size.
I've Googled this problem, and found some ideas, but nothing has worked thus far. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I have to confess on this..especially since someone voted for the question.
Everything I said in my original posting about using the disks successfully in the past -was true. However, after innumerable shots at trying to get this install to work, I finally went back and looked at the DVD, and found that either myself, or one of my kids, left traces of food stuck to the underside of the DVD. After cleaning the DVD off, the install worked fine. This is embarrassing.
I assumed the DVD was fine because I had used it before, as well as being able to copy files off it. However, the last time I used it was years ago, and sometime in between then and now...something got on it. I guess the lesson here is never skip the basic checks!
I just installed it yesterday on my Vista box (32-bit, which may be the problem). It seemed to go through fine so I don't know what to tell you other than than when I first launched the app it notified me of "known compatibility issues" and recommended that I install both the SP1 and Vista SP! updates. No further issues past that.
As such, I would suspect either a problem with the 64 bit OS (though Microsoft says it's fine...) or other software on your machine. If you have a virus scanner running, for instance, disable it while installing.
If your Vista machine is a guest running under VMware, try copying the entire DVD to your hard drive and install from there.
I don't know if the same random glitches occur on real machines.
I can confirm that this is a problem for me on Windows 2008 Server while not on XP or Vista (all 32-bit). Not sure why there's any kind of issue here but it seems to be permissions related.
Also tried run as administrator etc but no luck.
