Flex4 installation error, that is, exit code 7 encountered during flash builder4 Installation

From flex3 to flex4, Adobe changed its name to flash Builder 4. It seems that it implies a brand new upgrade signal, so P touches the upgrade. If flex3 and Flash Player are not completely uninstalled, the installation fails. So I tried to find a solution. Everything in the system was cleaned up. Everything related to flash was cleaned up. After a long time, I thought it was okay, so I began to install flash builder4, ...... Unfortunately, the exit code7 error occurs.

After searching for the Internet for half a day, we can see that many people who have installed other Adobe software (such as the cs5 series) have encountered the same problem, basically, the last line will show the sentence "unable to get root from inchildpath ". Unwilling, so I went to the official website to find these solutions:

Many people encounter such errors. Some are caused by operating system problems, such as 64-bit and 32-bit problems, and some are caused by user names, another cause is the problem of microsoft_vc80_crt_x86-find this file in the installation package and double-click it. If you see the detachable option on the interface, uninstall it, this folder contains several files with similar names. Click it to see if all files that can be unloaded are unloaded, and then the software is installed after restart. The problem may be solved.

 

However, what I had to worry about was: I tried all the methods I could execute, and the exit code 7 interface still appeared correctly. As a result, I was worried that I wanted to vomit blood. Finally, I had to use the trump card trick-to reinstall the system. Smile. Sure enough, install flash Builder 4 first after re-installing xp sp3. Everything is OK.
