RAD Studio 2007 won't install on Vista Ultimate x64 SP1 system
Chuck Chopp
re-building it from scratch. Originally, it was running Vista Ultimate
x64, and with this system rebuild, it now has Vista SP1 installed, too.
I currently have MS Visual Studio 2008 Professional installed with all
options/features included in the installation.
I am now trying to re-install RAD Studio 2007 [C++ Builder 2007]. When
the installation begins, I get a notice that the "Microsoft .NET 2.0
Framework SDK (x64)" is missing and needs to be installed. When I allow
the installer to try to install that component, it then informs me that
the installation of the SDK failed due to a fatal error. At this point,
the remainder of the RAD Studio installation cannot be performed.
I have verified that the Microsoft .NET 2.0 Framework SDK (x64) shows up
in the list of installed applications on my system. Any attempt at
running the standalone installation kit for that component results in a
message being displayed that the component is a part of the base O.S.
and cannot be separately installed or removed.
What do I need to do in order to get RAD Studio 2007 successfully
re-installed on my system?

I have BDS2007 working on a Vista Ultimate 64 bit, with no problems. I
don't rememeber how I did it, because I have installed so many
different applications that I am unable to rememeber all tweaks, but
there is one thing that usually works: Execute the installer wirth
administrator rights, so that *all* work is doen with such rights.
Best regrads, good luck

I am logged on with Administrator rights, and I disabled UAC so that
there's no concerns about whether or not any particular task is being
performed in a process that has been elevated.
What is at issue here is that the RAD Studio 2007 / C++ Builder 2007
installation kit is somehow incorrectly determining that the "Microsoft
.NET 2.0 Framework SDK (x64)" is not installed, and then it attempts to
perform an installation of that component, which fails because the
component is built into Vista and cannot be re-installed or un-installed.

I have checked on my computer, and it seems I installed .NET 2.0 FW
SDK x64 the same day I installed RAD studio, so maybe the solution is
to unistall it (I am allowed to do it in my PC!) and restart the
process.
BTW, I work with UAC enabled and have met no real problems about that,
I am against disabling it as it is a nice protection measure.
Best regards,

Chuck - I encountered the same problem trying to install a trial ed. of RAD
Studio on 32 bit Vista (see borland.public.install.delphi - 24/6/2008 johnp)
RADStudio setup reported Microsoft .NET 2.0 Framework missing from
my system but when I tried to install it MS stated it was already part of
Vista.
I enabled the windows installer msiexec.exe and (I think) ignored the "not
installed"
messages and the trial ed. installed OK.
