I have Visual Studio 2010 Professional version installed on my Windows 7 machine.

I am trying to install Visual Studio 2010 Service pack 1.

Every time the installation starts after some time rollback starts and installation fails.

I have tried using http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=23691

  • Web Installer - this downloaded around 615mb of data and later gave the above error.
  • Full ISO - Downloaded the completed ISO for offline setup, was around 1.5 GB but gave the same error.

I am beating my head on this for the past 2 days now. I have tried reinstalling Visual Studio 2010 also.

Error details

Fatal error during installation

Please help me on this. Thanks

I too had similar rollback issues with SP1. Did you try verifiyng the ISO checksum as per: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/heaths/archive/2011/03/25/verify-the-iso-checksum-for-visual-studio-2010-service-pack-1-before-installing.aspx

Initially I had a bad checksum so redownloaded the ISO.

Did you try burning the ISO to a DVD, mounting the ISO as virtual drive, or extracting the ISO contents using somethign like 7zip?
I finally managed to get install working correctly when I extracted the ISO contents to a sub folder; I also scanned my hard drive for errors prior to running the setup

  • I also ran Disk cleanup prior - to free up disk space (with reference to disk space comment below)

I finally managed to get this working,

Below are the things I did before re-installing successfully.

  • Removed all Visual Stusio addins like Resharper, Akhn SVN and others
  • Disabled my Antivirus
  • Reboot
  • Run setup as Administrator.
