Re: [ME3 2012] VC++ 2008 can't install

I found a part of the problem looking in the cbs logs (C:\Windows\Logs\CBS), it's because of one fusion file who seems to be opened by another program:

C:\Windows\WinSxS\Fusion\x86_microsoft.vc90.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_none_ea33c8f0b247cd77\9.0

However this file seems empty, anyway it's why the new vc++ 2008 version works but not this one.


I will surely try to delete if with revo, but I want to know what program seems to use a empty file in windows.

Edit :

So the fix is to delete the content of this 3 directory (thank to the cbs logs to show me in what dir were concerned) :

C:\Windows\WinSxS\Fusion\x86_microsoft.vc90.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_none_ea33c8f0b247cd77
C:\Windows\WinSxS\Fusion\x86_microsoft.vc90.mfcloc_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_none_389bb7490f8d1de8
C:\Windows\WinSxS\Fusion\x86_microsoft.vc90.openmp_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_none_020a384235a0510f

In each of them was a 9.0\9.0.21022.8\.metadata, remnant of a fail vc++ installation I suppose, it was the same on the two computers as I did every video games install for both at the same time

To delete them I changed the ownership to me of the 9.0 file, added full control, and using rmdir after (just right clic deletion didn't work)

Anyway it's good now, but like, harder bugfinding that my job.
