VS.Net 2003 Installer to Add/Remove/Repair shows MSI commandline dialog


VS.Net 2003 Installer to Add/Remove/Repair shows MSI commandline dialog Ollie North
11/21/2004 8:25:03 PM
visual studio .net setup: When I try to access the VS.Net 2003 installer from Control Panel or
directly from the CD image, and click on the Visual Stuio.Net link
(second one from top), I get a Windows Installer dialog with the
commandline parameters expained (as if I had typed msixxx.exe /?).
This is XP SP2 with VS.Net 2002 removed. File associations still work
by the way. I need to repair my VS.Net 2003 installation and cannot
do so. Any help appreciated. This is a notebook, so space is at
a premium and if I need to take the manual route using MSIZap.exe,
I would appreciate a direct link rather than having to install the

In this case, I would recommend trying to repair from the cached MSI first.
If that doesn't work, then you would need to manually uninstall and then
reinstall the VSNet product. If that comes to pass, I have attached a
document that should assist you in doing this.

Repair from cached MSI
=========================================
Start > Run and type installer and then click Ok
From the View menu select Details
Right click on Date Modified
Select Comments
Locate the cached MSI for Visual Studio .Net 2003 (not the baseline)
Right click on the actual file
Select Repair.

Just a sanity check: What's the version of your msi.dll in the Windows
system32 folder?

Oops, I replied to the wrong message. I read all your stuff <g>.
Here's what I wrote in the other reply (out of context there):

Thanks, Tom. I followed the steps in the body of your message. Still
get the MSI commandline parameters dialog. Looks like I get to do the
long way (sigh). I can't wait to see what this does to all my Add-ins
(Together, Deklarit, etc.).

OK, now we've got problems. I followed the attachment (Microsoft
Visual Studio .Net 2003 Cube Note) to the letter, and when I go to
install Visual Studio .Net 2003 from my MSDN DVD (running setup from
English\VS.Net2003 directory), I STILL get the MSI commandline
dialog help. It is showing Windows Installer 3.00.3790.2180. Again,
this is running on Windows XP SP2. I obviously cannot work without
VS.Net working correctly. Is there a way to invoke the DVD setup with

Thanks for checking in to my hell <g>!

c:\windows\system32\msi.dll shows version 3.00.3790.2180.

I gave up and invoked an MSDN Universal Support Incident, which it
turns out was a freebie. Why? Because WinXP SP2 has seen many cases
where an MSI 2.0 installer was run after MSI 3 was installed, and it
left the following key full (wipe the Default value if there is
anything in it to solve your problems):
HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/App
Paths/Setup.exe/{Default}

You do not need to restart.

I had already uninstalled VS.Net 2003 with the Cube Note/KB article,
so I am now uninstalling and re-installing all my add-ins after a
successful re-install of VS.Net 2003. MVP's: file this one away for
