I'm trying to install MVC using the web platform installer.  It fails and tells me there was a fatal error during installation.  Below is the log.  I've also tried installing using the downloadable MSI, it gets to installing visual studio templates then sits there for a bit and goes to removing backup files and then tells me installation failed.

Any help would be appreciated.
 

Log file

On line 1194 you have this:

Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.

Do you have enough space?

If you have, try to download it manually and install.

http://www.asp.net/mvc/

 Yeah plenty of space.  Quad core processor, 1.5 gigs memory free, 15.2 gigs drive space free.

Try my second suggestion.

your log file shows VWD ... if it's not VWD SP1, you must have VWD SP1.

your log file also shows vs2008 ... if vs2008 is installed, it should be SP1, but that's not absolutely necessary.

if you have any vs2008 add-ins, you should remove all of them, then install ASP.NET MVC v1.0, then put your add-ins back afterwards.

[worst case scenario, you may have to remove and reinstall everything]

also, you should be at .Net 3.5 SP1 ... I forgot to look for that when I was looking at your log file.

Hi

The problem lies with generating the native images for System.Web.Mvc using ngen.

You have .NET 3.5SP1 (log file: MSI (s) (48:64) [12:54:28:107]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding NETFRAMEWORK35SP property. Its value is '#1'. Action ended 12:54:28: AppSearch. Return value 1. )

Also, it's not a VWD/VS issue. As long as the installer detects at least one supported version of VS, it will proceed to install templates for that version. If you look at the logs:

MSI (s) (48:64) [12:54:28:104]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding VISUALSTUDIO_SUPPORTED property. Its value is 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe'.

If the installer detects a valid version of VWD, you'll see a similar entry to one above for VWDEXPRESS_SUPPORTED. 

If there are problems with add-ins then you will see failures at the custom actions in the log file when devenv.exe is executed. There aren't any errors there.

Try restarting your ngen service (should be something like Microsoft .NET Framework NGEN v2.0.50727_X86). Also, take a look at the ngen log files to see whether it reports more detail on the errors. See the NGEN section for MVC on Phil's blog at http://haacked.com/archive/2009/03/05/troubleshooting-installers.aspx

Thanks,
