Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable won't install

Question

_{Sunday, July 10, 2011 11:19 PM | 1 vote}

I'm unable to install any version of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable package. The standalone installers for x86, x64 and the SP1 versions all fail with the following error:

Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly
'Microsoft.VC80.ATL,type="win32",version="8.0.50727.762",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",processorArchitecture="amd64".
Please refer to Help and Support for more information.
HRESULT: 0x8007054F. assembly interface: IAssemblyCache, function: UninstallAssembly, component: {837BF1EB-D770-94EB-A01F-C8B3B9A1E18E}

I've looked into error code 1935 and it appears to just be a generic error code, as is 80007054f (An internal error occurred? Thanks for clearing that up!). No matter how deep through log files I go, I can't find the real culprit, the log files all just inform me that a generic error happened at the next level down in the chain no matter how many I go through.

I've searched for this extensively and haven't found any instance of this issue that has been solved so I could really use some help.

I'd also like to mention I do not have any version of the Visual C++ 2005 redistributable installed in Control Panel.

Hi Omnicoder,

I have checked all your error messages again.

I recommend you try to download a latest version of Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable from: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=26347

If it still failed, I suggest you try to install it on another computer. If it can be installed on another computer successfully, I think your problem is related to some files on your side have corrupted. Under these circumstances, I recommend you completely format OS >> reinstall Windows 7 >> install Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable.

I hope this helps.

Hi omnicoder,

Welcome to the MSDN forum.

First, could you please let me know what your OS and Service Pack level is?

Second, let’s browse to the location c:\windows\winsxs folder and rename the folder” winsxs” to “winsxs.old”.

Then try installing the security update and check if it helps.

Here are some general suggestions:

· Complete or dismiss Windows Updates before installation (but turn on Windows Update service).

· Clean up your “%temp%” folder (Start>>Run>>%temp%).

· Check if there are any anti-virus or antispyware applications running. Make sure they are turned off during installation.

· Run the setup file with Administrator privileges: Right-click the installer > Run as administrator.

This type of error will result in a more detailed error message being logged to the file “c:\windows\logs\cbs\cbs.log”. It might help to search for this error code in this cbs.log file and see if it helps narrow down the root cause further.

If you have any other concerns, please feel free to let me know.

Best Regards,

OS: Windows 7 SP1

I renamed winsxs after taking ownership of it but this caused the installer to fail to start due to Side-by-Side configuration errors so I had to rename it back. I cleared my temp folder and turned my antivirus off- no difference. And I've always been running it as administrator.

And the error in cbs.log is already in my first post (the error dialog omitted the HRESULT so I used cbs.log to get the full error message before asking.)

I posted on the last post on the forums about this with no answer. I am yet to see a result offered that works.

Same problem.

Product: Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable (x64) -- Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.ATL,type="win32",version="8.0.50727.42",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",processorArchitecture="amd64"'.

Have tried:

Downloading a fresh install of the file
Deleting my Temp folder contents and attempting to install again.
Installing the file as Administrator Turning the computer off... and then back on again (just because they always tell you too...)
Turning off all Antivirus software and firewalls before trying to install
Deleting completely and trying to reinstall.
Running the windows service tool and then trying to install
Sacrificing a goat to the great god imhotep None of the above has worked

Help!

Hi Omnicoder,

Thank you for your reply.

First, I recommend you use .NET Framework Verification Tool to verify the .NET Frameworks you have installed.

.NET Framework Verification Tool: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2008/10/13/8999004.aspx

If you have installed .NET Framework 1.1, I recommend you uninstall it and try to install Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable

If you have any other concerns, please feel free to let me know.

Best Regards,

Validation of 1.1 failed with a lot of errors: (however VC++ Redist 2005 would not install even after uninstalling it.)
