Creative Projects Internal Error 2908
Contents |
we got the following problem. If any of Add-in Express for Office and .NET product packages are installed, uninstalled and re-installed for the second time, the "Error 2908″ message is shown a tremendous number of times. It is error code 2908 windows 7 obvious that the message is shown for every file included into the package. What is worse, error 2908 office 2010 when the setup program is complete, you get this error again when you install or uninstall any MSI-based product. That is, from the error 2908 could not register component common point of view, Windows becomes inoperable. Windows Installer Error Messages doesn't provide any useful info. If you google for "Error 2908″, you'll find out that this error occurs for a number of applications. Workarounds exist for installing Office
Internal Error 2908 Windows 7
2000 on Windows 98 or ME, NET Framework 1.1, Visual Studio 2005. But none of those workarounds worked for us. Then we found an interesting post on the www.eggheadcafe.com forum: they added Crystal Reports merge modules to their setup and got this error. This resulted in "reinstalling windows on computers affected with the error." What Microsoft suggested is "ask Business Objects company that produces the Crystal Report for assistance". As you may assume, Crystal Reports supporters sent poor error 2908 could not register component windows 7 devils back to Microsoft. However, we googled out some vague notes that the cause of this error may relate to the number of files included into the package. This was somehow backed up by Orca that reported the following incomprehensible warning message: "Feature ‘DefaultFeature' has XXXX components. This could cause problems on Win9X systems. You should try to have fewer than 817 components per feature." To verify this assumption, we created a simple setup with some 2000 files. Nevertheless, this setup program has run through the install/uninstall/install procedure successfully. But when we added a custom action (Install, Rollback, and Uninstall), we got Error 2098 again. Moreover, it turned out that install/uninstall is enough for breaking the Windows Installer down. Then we found that the number of files that does the trick lies between 1000 and 1022. We don't know if this number depends on the number of custom actions. This research forced us to decrease the number of Add-in Express files by moving demo projects to a ZIP archive. And in this way, we overpowered Error 2908. But this was not the end of the story. We felt obliged to find a way for our customers to restore their PCs if they have got into this trap by installing Add-in Express. The solution was found by a pure chance. Thank Heavens. Deleting the following key restores the functionality of the Windows Installer: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows

RSS reddit Tweet quantass0 Feb 29, 2008 at4:31AM I was having problems with MS Visual Studio .NET 2003 in getting it to create a new Web Application Project. I suspect the issue was with its hooking into IIS5 (Windows XP Pro). The problem was so bad i went ahead and deinstalled both .NET Framework 1.1 and 2.0 from the system, deinstalled IIS and deinstalled MS Visual Studio .NET 2003. I then reinstalled IIS. I went to install VS but after a few minutes i got the error:Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Architect 2003 SetupInternal Error 2908. {1D377656-ACBB-44E2-BFEB-4CC6FB0FDA33}Hunh?! Anyone have an idea on how to get around this issue?
