I have been trying to install Visual Web Developer 2010 on my Windows 7, 32-bit machine for a while now. It keeps freezing up when it tries to install the SQL Server components of the install.
First I tried to install it using the 'Micosoft Web Platform Installer", but it would freeze on the first item to install (SQL Server 2008 R2). I checked for solutions online and found someone suggesting to download the ISO file and create a DVD to install
it. I did this and it gets through installing most of the items but then freezes when it tries to install the first SQL Server item (entitled 'SQL Server System CLR Types').
After waiting for ages, I just had to cancel the install. So now it says that I have Visual Web Developer installed but the following components I know they did not install because it never got to them during the install:
-SQL Server System CLR Types
-SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Objects
-SQL Server 2008 Express Service Pack 1 (x86)
-Visual Studio 2010 ADO.NET Entity Framework Tools
-Microsoft help Viewer 1.0 x86
When I open up Visual Web Developer it allows me to create a new website, i even tested out running a button with a messagebox and it runs fine.
However, I am worried that it has not installed correctly and that it will cause problems later down the line. Also why did the SQL Server 2008 items fail to install and how can I get them installed correctly?
I have a 32-bit Windows 7 operating system. Is Visual Web Developer 2010 even compatible with 32-bit Windows 7? If not what version of VWD is compatible? 2008? And where can I download it from?
Also, I note that this is a free application, but is there a version that I can pay for? If I can pay for it then Microsoft will have to provide tech support and then maybe they can help me to install it.....
what i would do, is go and download the 32-bit VWD and 32-bit Sql Server R2 seperately, not from Web Platform Installer. it freezes up on me all the time, and still thinks i need SP1 after a year. froze up when i downloaded MVC3, etc. here are the links
for those.
Since I originally posted I have done exactly what you suggested. I did not use the exact links that you have provided, but I did find and download the version of SQL Server 2008 R2 compatible with 32-bit Windows 7. However, when i ran the install, I got
the following error:
An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version="8.0.50727.4027",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",processorArchitecture="x86",type="win32"'. Please refer to Help and Support for more information.
HRESULT: 0x800736FD.
I googled this error and the suggested solutions I found online were that I need to have Visual Studio C++ 2005 Redistributable installed on my machine. So I downloaded that and tried to install it but I got this error:
Error 1935. An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.OpenMP,type="win32",version="8.0.50727.762".publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b".processorArchitecture="x86".
Now I am trying to google this error but not getting any luck so far.
Maybe that version of SQL Server 2008 R2 that you linked to will work on my machine, it appears to be different from the one I downloaded, it says it is 85 mgb, whereas the one I downloaded is 59 mgb....
there are different sql server downloads. some of the DO NOT have enterprise manager, which you need to build a DB, etc. i would try uninstalling the previous install of sql server, and make sure that you have ONLY 1 INSTANCE.
I googled this error and the suggested solutions I found online were that I need to have Visual Studio C++ 2005 Redistributable installed on my machine. So I downloaded that and tried to install it but I got this error:
I'm pretty sure it's prerequisite install before you start installing SQL Express.
I suggest uninstall everything on your pc, restart computer, then try to install SQL express from Web Platform Installer.

You mean SQL Server Management Studio?
Enterprise Manager is name of software with similar function but for MSSQL 2000.

I'm pretty sure it's prerequisite install before you start installing SQL Express.
I suggest uninstall everything on your pc, restart computer, then try to install SQL express from Web Platform Installer.

I have not tried to install on 32bit machine but install SQL 2008 R2 express many times on 64bit Windows VPS, quick and easy.
