Adding features to Visual Studio 2008 may fail to load setup components ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ October 6, 2008 by Heath Stewart (MSFT) // 7 Comments 0 0 0 When attempting to add features to Visual Studio 2008 after it has already been installed, you may see https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/heaths/2008/10/06/adding-features-to-visual-studio-2008-may-fail-to-load-setup-components/ an error that reports, A problem has been encountered while loading the setup components. Canceling setup. Fix Updated: a hotfix has been uploaded to Code Gallery to address this issue.

but I am going to list my steps that were required for me to get Visual Studio 2008 to install properly under Vista. My previous situation was: Had Installed VS2008 Release Candidate I tried the following when I went https://weblogs.asp.net/pglavich/visual-studio-2008-install-problems-and-solutions to install VS2008 RTM: Uninstalled VS2008 RC Install of RTM failed. Uninstalled Document Explorer and Web Authoring component. Install of RTM failed Uninstalled every other component that had 3.5 after its name Install of RTM failed. In all situations, it would fail shortly after beginning the VS2008 install step. Now I finally got the install to work, so here are my steps that got it working: Uninstall Hotfix for Microsoft Windows (KB110806) Uninstall Hotfix for Microsoft visual studio Windows (KB930264) Uninstall Hotfix for Microsoft Windows (KB929300) Uninstall SQL Server Compact 3.5 components (there about 3 of them I think) Uninstall .Net 3.5 Compact Framework components Uninstall Document Explorer 2008 Uninstall Visual Studio Web Authoring Component Uninstall Visual Studio 2008 (RC or Beta 2 - whichever you have) Uninstall .Net framework 3.5 (can't remember which step I did this in, but I wanted a "clean" uninstall of everything remotely related to 3.5) Restart your machine visual studio 2008 at the end of all the uninstalls. Note. You will have to restart in between hotfix uninstalls, or at least I did anyway. Now you can start installing VS2008 RTM and all should be good. Note: If you get a balloon prompt during the VS2008 install, asking if you want to restart your machine or Postpone it, make sure you Postpone it for a few hours until the install is complete. Then restart at the end of the install. Thats it. Hope that helps. Update: I forgot to mention, thanks to Rick Strahl and Julie Lerman on the ASPInsiders tech lists that provided the info. 35 Comments Unfortunately, the steps you specified above did not work for me. I am still getting the crash shortly after beginning the VS2008 install step, with exactly the same error log. Talking about Vista Ult. x86 The differences from your setup are: 1. Don't have Hotfix (KB930264) on my machine. 2. Had VS2005 before, removed it, together with all its parts (CF, SQL Server Mobile, DocExplorer, etc.) bojan - Thursday, November 22, 2007 10:38:53 PM for my case, this did not work. i had to uninstall also the Microsoft .NET framework 2.0 SP1 (181 MB). only after that installation worked.
