Trying to add new component to my existing Visual Studio 2008 Professional installation, adding in C++ component that I left out as I’m no C++ programmer, and I need it to compile some existing source. On the installation screen, after checked C++ and click next, I’m presented with an error:

VS2008Setup
After a quick Googling, found that by uninstalling the Service Pack 1 for my Visual Studio 2008 actually works!
Easy steps, uninstall Service Pack 1, install C++ component, and then reinstall the Service Pack 1.
😀 happy Visual Studio 2008 again.
