This was my second attempt at installing VS2008. Both times I used a clean WinSrv2008 O/S but had the same result. VS2008 hangs (did so overnight – 16 hours worth).
The application event log has several errors, like:
Application Error w/ Event ID: 1000; Keyword: 0x80000000000000
Faulting application msiexec.exe, version 4.5.6002.16670, time stamp 0x4983d418, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 6.0.6002.16670, time stamp
0x4983e781, exception code 0x80000003, fault offset 0x000348d8, process id 0xf5c, application start time 0x01c9bc8c731d0340.
I’m not sure what the problem is, but am leaning towards this being a problem with my WinSrv2008 install.
