In this blog post http://nomisit.wordpress.com/2009/04/21/installing-sql-server-2008-client-tools-what-a-pain/ it is described how you need to upgrade Visual Studio 2008 to SP1 if you are installing any of these…
… and you have previously installed VS2008, then you will need to upgrade it to SP1.
I did install a trial version of VS2008 but now I have uninstalled everything, but still getting the same failed requirement.
So now I am trying to install SP1, even if I don’t know what products it could be upgrading since I removed them all. Perhaps it is something like a C++ runtime or something that was left behind by the uninstaller?
The SP1 installer seemed to be stuck on “WebDesignerCore_KB950278”. But proceeded after quite a while (20 minutes, maybe more).
Then it took a long time to install “VS90sp1-KB945140-X86-ENU”.
I got a Fatal Error at the end of the install, so now I don’t know what was installed or not. So either try to reinstall SP1 or try to install the client tools?
Tried to install client tools, and to my surprise it succeeded!
