Darren66 Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 Dear All I am attempting to install vs.net 2003 professional edition onto my windows 2000 machine. The first stage is to get the Prerequisites setup and the setup package is telling me it needs to install MDAC 2.7 SP1. I then click 'install now' but I always get 'The following component failed to install MDAC 2.7 SP1' and thus the setup fails. I have installed mdac 2.7 manually myself and used an app called 'Component Checker' to verify MDAC has installed; which it has but I still get the same failure message every time. Any suggestions ?? Apologies for such a boring question! Quote

Darren66 Posted October 7, 2004 Author Posted October 7, 2004 Joe Cheers for the link. That deals with MDAC not being correctly installed but to the best of my knowledge it was installed fine. I found the answer on another forum which I will post here should anyone else find it useful. "You can bypass the Windows Component Update if the individual required updates have been installed. In some cases, Windows Component Update may continue to report failures even though the individual components have been successfully installed. Note, however, that this is only appropriate if all required components are installed. Visual Studio .NET will not function properly without these components. To bypass Windows Component Update for Visual Studio .NET 2: 1 /Insert Visual Studio .NET CD1. 2/ Close any programs triggered by autorun. 3/ Click Start, click Run, and then run the following command: X:\setup\Setup.exe /NO_BSLN_CHECK where X is the CD drive" Quote
