Visual Studio 11 Installation Error

Question

I'm getting an error while trying to install Visual Studio 11:

The log file shows:

[13F0:1D38][2012-04-23T12:53:01]: MUX: ExecuteError: Package (vs_professionalcore) failed: Error Message Id: 1316 ErrorMessage: Error 1316.A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file: C:\Windows\Installer\vs_professionalcore.msi

I've tried the Professional and the Ultimate versions and both with the ISO and Web Installer. I always get the same error.

Can someone help me?

Answer 1

I had this same problem with Visual Studio 2013 Premium. I simply downloaded the iso from http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads and then copied the vs_professionalcore.msi and associated cab files into C:\Windows\Installer\ . After that, performing Uninstall worked successfully.

For Visual Studio 2013 the msi and cab files were in: IsoRoot\packages\professionalcore\Setup

Give it a try!
