When install visual studio 2008, I stuck in two steps.
?
The first step is that it is fail to install the web authoring component. Actually, this component should be installed manually:
?
1. Extract the \WCU\WebDesignerCore\WebDesignerCore.EXE into a temporary folder.
2. Extract the?WebDesignerCore.EXE in to the current folder.
3. Execute the setup.exe file just been extracted.
?
After installing web authoring component successfully, install visual studio 2008 again.
?
Another difficulty is that I have Error 1406 when installing visual studio, it says I don't have sufficient privileges to write key values, so I run it again using administrator role, but fails again. Actually, it is because I opened the anti-virus software 360 and the safe-guard software 360 guard. After closing these two pieces of software, the error is disappearing!
?
There are quiet many people struggling to install visual studio, hope my suggestion will help us!
