Hello Jim,
Thank you for the reply.
I have done some further research and I find that Vista's UAC prompting
might cause this problem. Also running Visual Studio with normal user
permissions on Vista might cause some issues.
To narrow down this issue, I recommend you follow the steps below and have
another try.
1. Enable the Administrator account and log in as Administrator.
2. Disable Vista's UAC prompting.
To do this, please
1). Go to Start, Run, and enter "MSCONFIG"
2). Go to the Tools menu.
3). Halfway down the list, enable 'Disable UAC Disables User Account
Control (Requires Reboot)'
4). Reboot.
3. Please uninstall Visual Studio and reinstall it again following the
steps I mentioned in my last mail.
After that, please check whether the issues still occur.
If yes, please tell me in detail that what operation causes the issue.
Please also check whether there are any error messages recorded in Event
logs and let me know. If possible, please capture a screenshot of the error
message and mail the screenshot to me.
To capture a screenshot:
===================
1. Please press the Print Screen key (PrtScn) on your keyboard.
2. Click "Start", click "Run", type "mspaint", and click "OK".
3. In Paint, click Paste under the Edit Menu, click Save under the File
menu, type a file name for the screenshot, choose JPEG as "Save as type",
click "Desktop" on the left pane, and click Save.
4. Please find the screenshot on the Desktop and send it as an attachment
to:
v-jpzhu@microsoft.com

| There are two things in your understanding that are a little off:
|
| 1. removing Visual Studio does not fix the problem. My Vista machines
remain
| permanently broken and must be totally rebuilt to fix them.
| 2. there are many messages in the MSDN forums of people complaining about
| trouble with access to c:\config.msi directory but there are no (that I
ever
| found) responses from anyone at Microsoft that acknowlegeds the
connection
| to Visual Studio installation. I have proven to my own satisfaction that
| installing Visual Studio is the cause of the problem. But it cannot, as
far
| as I know, ever be reversed other than format the drive and start over
with
| everything.
|
| I have posted in MSDN but Microsoft just ignores the problem and doesn't
| respond to ANYONE.
