"Prior Visual Studio 2010 Instance Requiring Update" Failed

Question

Monday, August 6, 2012 6:34 PM

Hi,

I'm trying to install BIDS and SSMS for SQL Server 2012 on my machine. However, I can't get passed validation step that indicates SP1 needs to be installed for Visual Studio 2010. However, I have installed an re-installed VS2010 SP1 already.

Has anyone had the same problem?

Thanks Alberto,

I tried all of this and it didn't work for me. I have VS2010 Express and VS2010 Ultimate installed and they are both on SP1. I have tried to uninstall the express version but that proved to be challenge in itself.

Thanks for your help.

Could you try re-applying VS 10 SP1 again.

I have re-applied VS2010 SP1 (for the third time) but it didn't help. I can't get passed the validation point where VS10 SP1 is ismply not recognized by the installation package.

Very dissappointing.

Would you please share/upload SQL Server setup logs

I don't know if we still have this problem or not, but today I am trying to install the SSDT both from webinstaller and the disk media both failed. Saying the same thing. Any ideas?

I was having similar issues all day today - kept applying VS2010 SP1 from a variety of sources and still got this issue - after digging into my the SQL server 2012 install logs, I saw this:

(11) 2012-10-30 20:18:48 Slp: Package ID WPExpress_Cpu32: Installed - Version: 10.0.30319

I had an old windows phone developer tools beta installed that was causing the installer to get confused about whether VS2010 was up to date or not... it was even still giving me this error after I had uninstalled VS 2010 completely (or so I thought)...

My advice - check the logs (%program files%\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup Bootstrap\Log\some datetime stamp>\detail.txt

Find the section related to the 2010 SP1 patch rule and see what it's getting confused about.  It may not be 100% obvious that WPExpress == Windows Phone, but sometimes grey matter > computer.

Good luck,

Todd

Faced the same issue. 

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 and try to install SQL Server Management Studio 2014.

This following steps hope will help you:

1. Install Update for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 

link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=34677

2. Copy VS10SP1-KB983509.MSP file from redist directory to your C:\ drive

3. Run CMD as Adminstrator then go to C:\ in your terminal and run VS10SP1-KB983509.MSP file.

I've resolve this error with steps above.

*NOTE: If your VS10SP1-KB983509.MSP file not in C:\ drive, it's cause rollback during installation progress even when using CMD as Administrator.


Thursday, November 21, 2019 3:22 PM

thank you very much ! you saved my life... I tried to install VS10SP1-KB983509.MSP many time but it not in C: drive. so that was the key for my problem. Now I can continue to install my Sql server 2012 :)


Saturday, March 28, 2020 6:30 AM

Thanks, copy VS-SP1 setup in C: drive worked for me, otherwise it rollbacks.
