Visual Studio 2008 Installation Failure (WEB authoring components cannot be installed)-Application Tips

Visual Studio 2008 Chinese official version can be downloaded from the Microsoft website for a trial, because the English version of the previous feeling more than 2005 faster, although the. NET Framework 3.5 is a bit large, but still can choose to develop 2.0 of the project, so intend to install immediately. The probation period is three months long enough, so install the Team System version and experience the new features. But the most worrying thing happened--it can't be installed.

What's the problem? I'm going to find out why and try to solve the problem.

Because, in addition to the Visual Studio itself, other installed components that are installed during VS installation are essentially separate packages. To find the standalone installation package for the visual Studio Web Authoring component, try the standalone installation to succeed.
Sure enough, you found the Setup program for the Visual Studio Web authoring component in the \wcu\webdesignercore folder where you installed the DVD. Copy it to your hard disk and unzip it, and you can see that the component is using Office 2007 installation, running the Setup.exe, and showing the same installer interface as Office 2007. Click Install now to result in a dialog box that does not find a file in the Office.zh-cn folder, select the correct location for the installer and determine that the same window pops up again, and the installation cannot continue:


Check the file name carefully to determine what files are needed in the installation folder, but why are you not prompted to find it?
Since this component uses Office 2007 installation, and there are OFFICE.ZH-CN components in the folder that are common to Office 2007, will it be because of Office 2007 that the visual Studio Web Authoring component cannot be installed?

Open programs and features in Vista, select Office 2007, and click the "Change" button, and in the Installer interface that pops up, select "Fix" and continue,


as expected, and then there's the same dialog box where you can't find the installation files. The basic certainty is that the installation of visual Studio failed due to problems with Office 2007.
 
When you install Office, the installer will cache the installation files in the system partition's hidden folder Msocache by default and will not be deleted after the installation is complete. Because this folder is so large that you don't normally need it with Office, you have to remove it manually after you install Office, and you need to access the installation files in the Msocache folder when you repair the Office components, so this problem occurs. As a previous experience, when you have deleted the Msocache folder, you can put it in the original installation disc of Office to repair it successfully. The

is then placed directly into the installation CD for Office 2007, and when you eject the file-seeking dialog box, point to the location of the OFFICE.ZH-CN folder in the installation disk (typically the optical drive root), and Office 2007 is successfully repaired, then install visual The studio Web Authoring component is also successfully installed:

Next start Visua Studio 2008 installer, and also smooth installation, no longer encountered problems. Once the installation is complete, you can remove the Msocache folder that was cached when you installed the visual Studio Web Authoring Component (note that the folder is hidden).

The

finally found the reason why Office 2007 's installation source cache Msocache folder was deleted by the user. The visual Studio Web authoring component can be successfully installed whenever you find an installation file for Office 2007.

Finally, consider a question why the OFFICE.ZH-CN folder in the visual Studio Web Authoring Component installer cannot be validated, and office 2007 the OFFICE.ZH-CN file on the installation disk is OK? Compared to two folders found, only Officelr.cab, Officemui.msi, officemui.xml three files are different, while the first two main files, only the digital signature date is different. This may be because Office 2007 is already installed on the system, and the hash values for these installers are recorded, and setup recognizes only the version of the installation files for Office 2007 and does not accept other versions.
