Question
Monday, May 19, 2014 7:44 AM
I had troubles installing vs 2013 and found a solution. I want to share in case it will be helpful to someone. I didn't find a question with the same symptoms.
Symptoms:
Installation finishes with an error
"Setup Failed!
bla-bla-bla ... or examine the log file.
- Build Tools - x86
Fatal error during installation"
in the log file :
[0368:19D8][2014-05-19T09:57:03]i301: Applying execute package: Msi_BuildTools_MSBuild_x86, action: Install, path: C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\{FB3A15FD-FC67-3A2F-892B-6890B0C56EA9}v12.0.21005\packages\BuildTools_MSBuild_x86\BuildTools_MSBuild.msi, arguments: ' ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT="1" MSIFASTINSTALL="7"'
......
[0368:19D8][2014-05-19T09:57:18]e000: Error 0x80070643: Failed to install MSI package.
[0368:19D8][2014-05-19T09:57:18]e000: Error 0x80070643: Failed to execute MSI package.
[17F0:1348][2014-05-19T09:57:18]e000: Error 0x80070643: Failed to configure per-machine MSI package.
How it was resolved:
I tried several times to install (after installing all windows updates etc), and somehow by luck after closing the installation window I've got the window (Sorry, I can't insert images until MS will be able to verify my account. Such a stupid thing...) "Do you want to send more information about the problem?" and a list of files to send.
Unfortunately I don't know what I did that made this window to appear. I tried several times later to reproduce but installation ended up with a different window with only a close button without any info about log files.
But I found that the installer creates these files every time (even when the info about them is not shown) in 'C:\Users\yourUserName}\AppData\Local\Temp'
you can find the files by just sorting by 'date modified'. In my case the files were:
C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Temp\dd_vs_ultimate_20140519092642.log
C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Temp\dd_vs_ultimate_20140519092642_143_vs_preclean_vs.log
C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Temp\dd_vs_ultimate_20140519092642_147_Msi_BuildTools_MSBuild_x86.log
C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log
The file that was really helpful is dd_vs_ultimate_20140519092642_147_Msi_BuildTools_MSBuild_x86.log
I searched for "error" in it and found:
05/19/14 09:28:53 DDSet_Error: Failed to create process (0x00000570) : The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.
05/19/14 09:28:53 DDSet_CARetVal: 00000570:(null)
05/19/14 09:28:53 DDSet_CARetVal: 80070570:Failed to run '"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\ngen.exe
I tried to run the ngen.exe by hands and it didn't run saying 'the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable'
I replaced the file with the one from my laptop and that did the trick.
(optional) also I checked the file CBS.log. I searched for "corrupt" and found:
2014-05-19 09:48:15, Info CSI 0000072f [SR] Could not reproject corrupted file [ml:520{260},l:98{49}]"\?\C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319"\l:16{8}]"ngen.exe"; source file in store is also corrupted
It confirmed that ngen.exe is corrupted. You can create CBS.log by running the command 'sfc /scannow' in the command promt cmd.exe. As I understand it should give a report about all corrupted files.

Our IT Support finds the issue and sloved it for me; There is Windows Security Patch casues Windows Installer failed. After remove KB2918614, I can re-install both Visual Studio 2012 and 2013.
For VS2012 Pro error is Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 x64 Minumum Runtime - 11.0.507 Fatal error during installation.
For VS2013 Pro error is Build Tools - amd64 Fatal error during installtion.
Hope, this information applies to Windows 7 Pro x64 platform.

I found this post as a result of similar errors during installation, and they went away when I ran the install "as Administrator", even though my Windows account was an Administrator account.

I got the same error updating from visual studio 2015 update 2 to update 3, and i had all windows updates installed. What i see is VS needs this file "Microsoft Build Tools 2015 Update 3" to run amd64 libraries. I download the file separately and installed didn't get any errors after opening visual studio, but i had to run a repair to reinstall VS update 3. Thats how i solved it.
