安装独立升级包Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System (version 3.0 Runtime) Service Pack 1 (x86). 

然后安装visual studio 2008 sp1

Today I spent some time repaving my computer with the PDC build of Windows 7.  Whilst it’s probably a long way out I thought I would see just how far Microsoft is along with the next version of Windows.  After all, the reports I’ve been hearing have been very positive about it and to be honest, it can’t be much worse than Vista.

I encountered a couple of minor issues early on but nothing that was insurmountable.  When it came to installing Visual Studio 2008 the core product installed fine but SP1 kept on failing – I tried a couple of times thinking it was caused by me doing other things whilst the install was progressing. 

I took a quick look at the error log and noticed it failing on one assembly to do with Visual Studio Tools for Office.

Drilling into the VSTO specific log I was able to pull out the knowledge base number, ie KB949258.

MSI (s) (F0:5C) [18:27:43:876]: Windows Installer installed an update. Product Name: Visual Studio Tools for the Office system 3.0 Runtime. Product Version: 9.0.30729. Product Language: 0. Manufacturer: Microsoft Corporation. Update Name: KB949258. Installation success or error status: 1603.

This meant I was able to look up the individual update - Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System (version 3.0 Runtime) Service Pack 1 (x86).  Downloading and installing this before SP1 of Visual Studio 2008 enabled the installation to progress nicely.
