MVC 3 RTM Install Error (after upgrading to VS2010 SP1)

Posted by: Peter In: .NET|ASP.NET|C#

Yesterday I installed Visual Studio 2010 SP1 on my home computer. After the installation I wanted to upgrade MVC3 to the RTM version (I had the RC version installed), so i uninstalled the RC and downloaded the new version. The installation came half way, then stopped, in the log file i found this:

Installation failed with error code: (0×80070643)

Not very helpful, but at least something to google. Then I found this blog post. The author describes pretty much the same issue that I had, so I did what he suggested, unpacked the installer using 7-Zip and installed the MSI packages in the following order:

1. aspnetwebpages.msi
2. aspnetwebpagesvs2010tools.msi
3. aspnetmvc3.msi
4. aspnetmvc3vs2010tools.msi
5. nuget.msi

This happily installed MVC3 without complaining. Thanks Michael!
