Error 0x80070643 installing ASP.NET MVC 3 / MVC 3 setup fails


Do you get this message?

Basically from what I can tell, this update is basically a package of numerous KB updates and silently installs it.

Unfortunately, it does not display any errors that the individual installs may return.

After a bit of digging, I found the log file and this line:

Returning IDOK. INSTALLMESSAGE_ERROR [Error 1706.An installation package for the product Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate - ENU cannot be found. Try the installation again using a valid copy of the installation package 'vs_setup.msi'.]

Why it doesn't report this, I do not know - however, all you need to do is plop in the disk, or mount the ISO and it should clear this error.

--UPDATE--

I thought it was fixed, however, this was just one error and whilst that got over one hurdle, the bigger install still failed.

After running the update once, it extracts all the individual components to a folder on your hard drive - for me, this was c:\temp\ext47334 - I was able to run every KB on its own, apart from `aspnetwebpages.msi`

This keeps failing with:

"Error 1721. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action: WebConfigCA_Remove, location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET Web Pages\v1.0\WebConfig\WebConfigCA.exe, command: -u "

I have tried numerous solutions - manually launching that command, removing it from add/remove programs (which fails with another error), deleting the folder along with many others - but they all fail.

I have no idea what is wrong here at the moment but will update once it is sorted.



Update: As I thought this is 100% related to the "Microsoft ASP.NET Web Pages" Component.

It is now Solved! Thanks to Matt Garvenn on the ASP.Net Forums, it is down to the Visual Studio SP1 update placing trailing backslashes in two registry keys.

Steps to workaround are:

1. Remove the trailing backslash from the following registry keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ASP.NET\4.0.30319.0\Path

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\ASP.NET\4.0.30319.0\Path

2. Uninstalled the old version of "Microsoft ASP.NET Web Pages".

3. Add the trailing backslash back to those keys.

4. Install MVC 3.

  5. Had similar problem. MVC 3 webinstall reported success, but failed silently in the background. Did a "repair" (from Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features) which fixed the problem.

  8. When you say "Uninstall Microsoft ASP.NET Web Pages" above, do you mean Microsoft ASP.NET MVC 2? I do not see the other installed on my system.

  12. Man, you saved me! I only wish I would have discovered this day before yesterday. I noticed that I couldn't get Web Pages to uninstall, but I wasn't quite this far along to figure out that a) it was the real problem and b) the obscure way to fix that issue.

    Thanks!

  14. Thanks for this

    It seems like MS is not using their own BCL methods: Path.Combine() ;-)

  15. Thanks for that! I actually hit the problem while trying to uninstall everything related to Visual Studio after the MVC3 Tools Update completely destroyed my installation. I couldn't even uninstall "Microsoft ASP.NET Web Pages" until I did this registry edit.

    Tell you what, if I get all this reinstalled and working, I'm going back to my old habit of just reading blog posts about tech previews, and never actually installing them.

    ReplyDelete
  16. for me, I have to install the Mvc3 first, then add the trailing backslash.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I only had the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ASP.NET\4.0.30319.0\Path" registry entry but the fix worked a treat. Thanks.

  28. Thanks for this! (especially Matt Garvenn's registry advice). Shame we have to mess with the registry, but at least it works :)

  29. Error 0x80070643 was resolved for me when the MVC 3 installer found the VS2010 installation directory in the exact location where I first installed VS2010. See below for more details.

    After I installed VS2010 for the first time, I nuked the installation directory. Turns out the MVC 3 installer was downloading a VS2010 patch (KB2483190-x86) and attempting to apply it to VS2010 using the same directory location used for the initial VS2010 installation.

    To resolve error 0x80070643, I simply re-expanded the VS2010 Prof ISO to the exact same location used for the initial VS2010 install (not the VS2010 SP1 install, the initial VS2010 install), then re-ran the MVC3 install. It worked with no other changes.

    Btw, none of the registry changes and other twists worked for me. Hope this helps someone! Gus

  61. obat penggugur kandungan The purpose of medical abortion is to terminate an early pregnancy; it is called a medical abortion because it is only a doctor that can prescribe the drug used to perform this type of abortion. In some countries abortion is legal, and the sale of the drugs used for medical abortion is legal too; however, it can only be sold to a specialist, or on the note that a specialist prescribed it. There are so many reasons why people decide to go through an abortion, but the fact remains that a medical abortion can only be performed within the first trimester of pregnancy. The first trimester of pregnancy includes 2 to 12 weeks, after which this approach can no longer be admissible.

    Before a medical abortion takes place, there are different procedures to go through because the doctor would not want to be liable for the harm of any of his or her patient. There are some types of pregnancies that a medical abortion can work for, and there are other types that another abortion approach is best for. One of the first things that a doctor does when a woman says that she wants to get rid of her pregnancy is to make use of a sonogram on the patient.



    A sonogram is an equipment used in medical facilities, to check if the pregnancy of a woman is viable. This means that the doctors or specialists use a sonogram to check the uterine and to check if the pregnancy is an ectopic one. If these two things are found in the uterus, the doctor will immediately tell the patient that another approach needs to be considered.

    In the past, people have gone through medical abortions, where they end up having complications and have to go into surgery. One of the reasons why this occurs is because the pregnancy may have been an ectopic one, and the drugs used to conduct a medical abortion may have damaged something in the uterus. This is why women and girls are advised to seek the help and guidance of a specialist or doctor before they engage in medical abortion or any form of abortion.

    The Process of Medical Abortion

    Medical abortion has many processes, but first, it is vital to know the type of drugs used for a medical abortion. These drugs are known as Methotrexate and Misoprostol. They are both known as MTX and are used for pregnancies between two and seven weeks.



    The Procedure

    The patient is given Methotrexate orally or by injection, depending on which is comfortable for the patient.

    Immediately, the doctor gives a dose of antibiotics to make sure that there is no infection.

    The Misoprostol drug is either inserted into the vagina or given orally, and this is done about four days later. This procedure will cause a contraction, and thus expel the fetus from the womb as blood.

    After a few days, the patient will return to the hospital for more physical examinations to make sure that there has been no complication throughout the process. When this is done, he or she will have to continue on antibiotics until the bleeding has stopped, which may take a few days.

    Doctors’ advice women, who have never heard of drugs like MTX and Cytotec abortion drugs, insist on counseling first. Jual cytotec asli drugs for abortion in some countries is also prohibited.
