I am getting a few errors trying to download the new VS2012. Its a fresh install of windows 8 (did the windows update). I have tried not selecting all (no C++, lightswitch, blend, office tools) I tried different mounting tools for the .ISO but no luck. VS2010 is still working. Running x86. Log file

Errors:

Critical: Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 x86 Minimum Runtime - 11.0.507 Cannot find the requested object.

Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Pre-Clean Tool Cannot find the requested object

Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 x86 Additional Runtime - 11.0.507 Cannot find the requested object.

Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Core Libraries, Team Foundation Server 2012, Microsoft Framework 4.5 Multi-Targeting pack.... and a few other ones cannot be found. Thanks!

Are you sure the iso file you downloaded is good? (non-corrupt) I'd like to suggest making sure the checksum for your ISO matches an expected value, but I can't find any officially published checksum values from Microsoft. If you can find someone with known good install media then you could generate a hash of that and verify yours matches that value - Crippledsmurf
How do I check the checksum? I think it should be okay, my friend used it as well I believe - datatest
nevermind. MD5 is 989d1a6b16451a89b0318e20537b13ff now I just have to find out if this matches anyone else's - datatest
I'd post mine, but I'm away from my media collection until next week. I can try and contact a colleague and post his hash if you'd like? - Crippledsmurf
Not sure which ISO you have, but here's the md5 that I get for VS 2012 Pro a6a41004e420d62eb5093887b3fc3b04 (en_visual_studio_professional_2012_x86_dvd_920779.iso) - chue x

Downloaded the web installer, and that seemed to work. It seems that the iso was corrupted as the MD5 did not match.
