I'm trying to install SQL Server 2012 Management Studio and during the process, one of the rules keep failing:

'Prior Visual Studio 2010 instances requiring update'

When I try to install the patch from "redist\VisualStudioShell" it rolls back. Any help please?

This is the only solution i have found till now to install the VS10sp1-KB983509.msp update but keps rolling back.

I repeat the solution to this problem is, suggested to install the update package,which i am unable to install as it keeps rolling back. So any help guys rather than just marking it as duplicate.

@TheGameiswar the post is suggesting to install update package, which i have tried but the installation keeps rolling back, so probably it is not duplicate. Dont you agree ? - Sdp
there is also a second step in second answer,did you tried that?.also can you check for any info in eventvwr and installation log - TheGameiswar
yes i did, it doesn't work - Sdp

Just had same problem a while ago. The patch might just missing a privilege.

I was able to proceed with this.

  1. run cmd as administrator

  2. locate and run VS10sp1-KB983509.msp

     C:\WINDOWS\system32>F:

 F:\>cd redist

 F:\redist>cd VisualStudioShell

 F:\redist\VisualStudioShell>VS10sp1-KB983509.msp

I hope that could help.
