I'm trying to install VS 2013 Ultimate on top of VS 2013 RC and the following error messages are preventing the installation.

enter image description here

The form specified for the subject is not one supported or known by the specified trust provider.

The failed components are:

Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 VsGraphics Helper

Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Core Libraries

Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 x86 Libraries

Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 x64 Libraries

Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 ARM Libraries

Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2013 Preview Object Model (x64)

Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2013 Preview Object Model Language Pack (x64) - ENU

Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 Preview Multi-Targeting Pack (ENU)

Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 Preview Multi-Targeting Pack for Windows Store Apps (ENU)

Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 Preview Multi-Targeting Pack Language Pack - enu

This error means that Windows does not recognize the input file as something it is able to affix a digital signature on.

Possible workaround

Using SetReg.exe Set Registry Tool to disable Certificate Revocation List checking. 

setreg 3 FALSE 
setreg 9 FALSE

Reference: Another Possible Workaround

I can try the workaround above to sort the problem, but i was in belief that VS 2013 RC can be easily updated?

VS 2013 can be installed side by side with previous versions of Visual Studio or, if you have a VS 2013 pre-release, it can be installed straight over top of the pre-release.

Source: Visual Studio 2013 RTM Available

UPDATE

I've tried using web installer or downloading ISO image again, with no success, as possible solutions in related sources.

I cannot find this tool on my system. Is there a way to set this in the registry itself? – antman1p
@antman1p: The tool can be downloaded from "source" mentioned in the question. To set directly in registry via regedit, go to "HKEY_USER\[UNIQUE USER SID VALUE]\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WinTrust\Trust Providers\Software Publishing". Then modify value of "State" eg. add flag WTPF_IGNOREREVOKATION would change 0x00023C00 -> 0x00023e00 (same as setreg -q 3 FALSE). – Zimba

Go to Microsoft Visual Studio Ultimate 2013

then choose Web Installer (the first download option)

If you have already tried installing VS 2013 using ISO Installer you must reboot before trying the Web Installer.

Try to verify whether you have completely downloaded installer, in case if you are using ISO file. I've checked my own with the same problem, and it was broken. Sha hash was different.

I had the same issue while installing RTM version. I replaced the files from the RC version I had downloaded earlier. This is what I did to fix the issue

  • Uninstall the failed version of 2013 from control panel -> Uninstall programs

  • Restart the computer

  • Extract the files from the ISO to a local folder

  • Replace the the folder "Packages/vsGragphics Helper..." with the copy from RC version ISO.

  • Re-run the setup again from local folder.

One thing that can cause this error is if the setup files have not been successfully extracted from the ISO. In the case I've just dealt with, a number of setup files were 0 bytes in length.

The problem can be worked around by deleting the affected folder(s) in "packages" so that the installer will download the missing content. Or fixed by identifying the cause of the corruption, e.g., you may need to use different software to extract the contents of the ISO, or the ISO itself may have been corrupted.

For me the issue resolved by getting the ISO again. Do check if your ISO is broken using its SHA.

This means the vsgraphics_helperbits.MSI is corrupt. I was able to resolve my issue by navigating to ( \packages\vsgraphics_helper\ ) and renaming (amd64) folder to (amd6488s) and for some reason adding 888s to the folder name makes the installer reach out to the internet to download the vsgraphics that are broken in the ISO.

You have to download the Microsoft Root Certificate Authority 2011 from Microsoft and then you have to import it with mmc.exe. Now uninstall all (if you allready installed) and make a clean new installation.
