Installing Visual Studio 2010, installation stops at Visual Studio 2010 Prerequisites x64
I have: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
I tried installing it manually and it also failed
The message says Setup Failed and the error log says:

Error 1603 is a very generic installation error that sadly does not provide much information.
This might however still be permission-related.
Microsoft's knowledge base provides the following possible causes regarding error 1603:
You may receive this error message if any one of the following conditions is true:
The folder that you are trying to install the Windows Installer package to is encrypted.
The drive that contains the folder that you are trying to install the Windows Installer package to is accessed as a substitute drive.
The SYSTEM account does not have Full Control permissions on the folder that you are trying to install the Windows Installer package to. You notice the error message because the Windows Installer service uses the SYSTEM account to install software.
Another article provides other possible fail reasons, and a walkthrough to repair this error.
After struggling for many hours with the problem, I remembered having the same problem in the past. Both times the problem occurred because I had previously successfully installed Visual Studio 2010 (or Visual Studio 2010 Express) and in the meantime I have uninstalled it at the same PC where I try to install it now. This means that I get the problem with the installation when I uninstall it and try to install it again.
Then I saw an error 2908 in the installation log. I googled it and found this:
http://www.add-in-express.com/creating-addins-blog/2007/11/12/windows-installer-error-2908/
The problem is that when I uninstall VS2010 some registry entries don't get cleared, so the installer thinks that these components are already installed. The man in the article above found this entry in the registry and deleted it. After that he was able to install VS2010 again.
Regarding my problem, I didn't find the problematic entry, so I had to reinstall Windows 7 from the beginning and then VS2010 installed successfully on my new OS.
Unfortunately the problem is not detectable in the same way for every PC so there is no specific solution. Anyway it has to do with Windows registry, so if anyone finds anything more, please add a comment to help others.
By the way I notice that many people have problems with VS2010 installation
try installing VS_Prerequisites_x64_enu.msi in folder WCU \ 64bitPrereq \ x64
If error windows / symbols appear, create folder "symbols" in windows folder.
try installing VS_Prerequisites_x64_enu.msi again
Run the visual studio installer again after prerequisites has been successfully installed

I'm trying to install the VS2012 4.0.3 targeting pack for VS. However, when I run it, it gives me this error:
Installation Requirements:
Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Multi-Targeting Pack was not found. Please
repair your installation for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 in order to
get this update.
However, I'm trying to install it to VS2012... I've uninstalled VS2010 (using the KB uninstaller, I think I did the full uninstallation), and wiped its folder in Program Files (x86) as well (I don't need it, and I prefer 2012). What should I do to fix this issue?
Despite having installed Microsoft windows xp service pack 3(upgraded from SP-2) the installation of Visual Studio was not successful!
The log says
Blocking Components exist and must be satisified before continuing to install [01/02/07,10:41:18] VS Scenario: [2] Windows XP Service Pack 3 is required [01/02/07,10:41:19] VS Scenario: [2] End of Blocking Component List * [
What may be the problem?:
We have an error during the installation after running our installation:
Component Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime (x86 and x64) has failed to install with the following error message:
"A failure occurred attempting to install the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime (x86 and x64)."

How proceed to install successfully our Office 2010 add-in?
UPDATE: Ok for your answers but the goal is to deploy the app with the installer I test. So the end-user will have the same error as me. The goal is to avoid this error in the setup configuration in Visual Studio 2010. How can I add VSTO 4 runtime in the installer and obtain no error?
It may be Microsoft bug. They have released un-signed version of the installer that throws error:
WinVerifyTrust returned -2146762496. File not signed.
I'm not sure if it will help in your case. The fix for me was to download new version from Microsoft downloads website .
The full description of the bug is available here:
VSTO Runtime installation error
Are you you installing with elevated privalages? That may be why WinVerifyTrust is not trusting vstor40_x64.exe.
Second thing to check is if you are installing in order - first the .NET run time (3.51 or 4.0, depending on your add-in), then vstor40_x86.exe or vstor40_x64.exe (depending on client machine x86 or x64), then your solution.
If it's not as simple as this, check out Troubleshooting Office Solution Deployment and/or Troubleshooting ClickOnce Deployments (if you're using ClickOnce).
This is the fifth time now, tried different machines, different drive sizes,even tried both Vista and XP, nothing seems to work.

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.
