[RESOLVED] VB2010 Express install error 2908 & 1935

[Superthijs]

Hello,

I hope this is the right forum section, and if not, I'm sorry.

I can't install Visual Basic 2010 express because I keep getting error 2908 a couple of times and finally an error 1935, after which the installation rolls back.
I never had this problem on Windows XP, but since a couple of weeks I have Windows 7 installed and now I can't install VB anymore.

I have also tried disabling antivirus, running the setup executable as administrator, and reinstalling the .NET framework,
This is very frustrating for me.

My OS:
Windows 7
32 bit
.NET framework 4.0

Can anyone please help me?
Would be VERY VERY much appreciated!

It works!!!
Finally!
Thank you SO much!

C:\WINDOWS\system32\mscoree.dll was the problem.
See, I have .NET framework 4.0 installed and the version of this file was not 4.0 but 2.0.
So, I fixed it as follows:
1. Downloaded a correct version of mscoree.dll
2. Booted from the Windows 7 installation disc
3. Started the command prompt
4. Renamed system32\mscoree.dll to something else (I did mscoree.dll.old)
5. Copied the downloaded mscoree.dll file to system32\
When I restarted the computer, logged in and (once again) ran the VB2010 Express installer, it worked!

So, once again, thanks!!!
