Visual Studio 2005 won't install on Windows 7
- by Peanut
Hi,
My question relates very closely to this question:
http://superuser.com/questions/34190/visual-studio-2005-sp1-refuses-to-install-in-windows-7
However this question hasn't provided the answer I'm looking for.
I'm trying to install Visual Studio 2005 onto a clean Windows 7 (64 bit) box. However I keep getting the following error when the 'Microsoft Visual Studio 2005' component finishes installing ...
Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'policy.8.0.Microsoft.VC80.OpenMP,type="win32-policy",version="8.0.50727.42",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",processorArchitecture="x86",Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x80073712.
On my first attempt to install VS 2005 I got a warning about compatibility issues. I stopped at this point, downloaded the necessary service packs and restarted the installation from the beginning. Every since then I just get the error message above. I keep rolling back the installation and trying again ... it's but always the same error.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.
