.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / Setup / March 2008Setup cannot access the required initialization file...
Hello, I get the following error message when trying to install VS .Net: Setup cannot access the required initialization file 'C:\Progra~1\SAP\ FRONTEND\SAPGUI\FILE\ODBC\AUNCHER="C:\Docume~1\...\Temp\" I tried the approach suggested on this site by someone else who had this problem: running Setup.exe from the Setup folder rather than from the install root (running C:\Installs\VisualStudio2003\Setup\setup.exe rather than C:\Installs\VisualStudio2003\setup.exe). But it then complains that the Visual Studio Prerequisites need to be installed first. I'm stuck in the proverbial vicious circle. :-( Any insight or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Cheers, Tess > Hello, > I get the following error message when trying to install VS .Net: [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > Cheers, > Tess Have you tried this alternative? This fix was posted for a similar problem and may well work for you. <quote> Seems that Windows is running what is defined in App Paths for "setup.exe" Judging by the error that you are getting, Windows is running <system32>\setup.exe instead of the setup.exe from the CD. Open regedit and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\Setup.exe Double click on the default value and clear the value data. It should now be blank. This should clear up your problem and allow you to install VS. </quote> Hope this helps.  SignaturePeter [MVP Visual Developer] Jack of all trades, master of none. Thank you, Peter. That's exactly what was wrong. The install works fine now. Best wishes, Tess > Thank you, Peter. > That's exactly what was wrong. > The install works fine now. > > Best wishes, > Tess Great news!
