Visual Studio and .NET Framework Installation Tips

How to install Visual Studio and .NET Framework

  1. Ensure that all of the pre-release(Beta or CTP versions) components on your machine have been removed
  2. Disable your Anti-Virus or Anti-Spyware software
  3. Be sure that your OS has been "patched" up - Update your computer (Windows)
  4. Complete or dismiss Windows Update before installation. Please don’t forget to turn it on later.
  5. Make sure that the installation media is healthy. If the installation from disc drive is not working well, you can try copying the contents of the disc to the hard disk and installing from the hard disk.

We can try the following steps to check the installation media:

   * Try installing it on a different CD/DVD drive - some drives are more sensitive than others when handling media, it's just the way they have been manufactured.
   * Create an ISO image of the CD/DVD. This can be achieved by using for example, Nero Burning ROM, and creating an image of the CD/DVD. Doing this, will help us see if there is any problem with the actual media or something similarly related.

Once the ISO image has been created, either:

   * Extract the ISO image, to your local computer, that you have just created using something like ISOBuster and run the installation from the harddrive/harddisk
   * Mount the ISO image to a virtual CD drive, using another 3rd party tool something like MSVCD, and run the installation from here.
