Essential when presented with installation issues!

1. Know where your temp folders and what in it
rightclick on "my computer" - > select popup menu "properties" -> advanced tab -> environment variables button. Then examine folders and clear. Temp folders should be placed on drives with enough free space
2. tune system for having large amount of virtual memory
3. See Heath Stewart's Blog

for further batch script improvement, he added /qn switch for silent install
also read microsoft knowledge base article for installer options
reg export HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer installer.reg
reg add HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer /v MaxPatchCacheSize /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
net stop msiserver
start /wait VS80-KBnnnnnn-X86-mmm.exe /qn
reg delete HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer /v MaxPatchCacheSize /f
reg import installer.reg
net stop msiserver
del /q installer.reg 2>nul

I found that the script failed on the line
reg delete HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer /v MaxPatchCacheSize /f reg import installer.reg
saying Error: Too many command line parameters". The script continued OK and processed the rest of the commands in the batch file, so the whole shortcut (no cache files) installation process worked OK. Anyway I manually deleted the MaxPatchCacheSize key using regedit. You can split the line into two, it seems, to avoid this error:
reg delete HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer /v MaxPatchCacheSize /f
reg import installer.reg
thus the batch file becomes
reg export HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer installer.reg
reg add HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer /v MaxPatchCacheSize /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
net stop msiserver
start /wait VS80sp1-KB926601-X86-ENU.exe
reg delete HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer /v MaxPatchCacheSize /f
reg import installer.reg
net stop msiserver
del /q installer.reg 2>nul
P.S. I lost 1 gig of disk space after the install, though on another macine it was 1.7.

Thanks for this, excellent contribution.
Wow 1 gig. Better buy a 2 gig disk

...an absolutely flawless upgrade experience.

Ha!
Did you do steps #1 & #2 in the article or did you just run the installer?
|
|
|
|
 |
|

It just shamelessly installed.
However, the installation took quite a long time, so perhaps #2 could have helped if I had applied it.

If your going to label an article "Installing Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1", perhaps you could write the content about the same topic. It's of no use to anybody to say "download and attempt to install", perhaps a list of reasons why to upgrade, and a list of visual ques during the install.

Hi,
Great point.
Perhaps there is a better wording for it, but the first step is to try to install it. If nothing goes wrong, you don't need this article.
This article is really getting panned, but thanks for the comment!

Although I searched, I found no list of issues fixed by SP1. Anyone has a hyperlink, please?
|

Here's a link to the appropriate blog entry. The list of fixes is a set of four links at the top of the page.
http://blogs.msdn.com/vcblog/archive/2006/06/22/643325.aspx[^]
The link above should be made part of this article.
I voted this article a 5 because it contains links to other resources that I didn't know existed. Granted, the article is a little thin on it's own content, but the links kinda make up for that.

Seems that the page only lists C++ fixes. I guess there will be more fixes for C#?!?

C# isn't within my sphere of considerations.

Since I'm no native English - is "spheres" a synonym for "balls"? .
