SYMPTOMSWhile you try to install Visual Studio .NET or Visual Studio 2005, you may receive the
following error message: Assertion
failed!
Program: ...aar\Local Settings\Temp\SIT42045.tmp\setup.exe
File: f:\vs70builds\2106\vs\src\vssetu...\msiext...ler.cpp Line: 216
Expression: dwRes != 0 CAUSEThis problem occurs because the Temp folder on your computer has read-only access control specified. Therefore, the Visual Studio .NET or Visual Studio 2005 Setup
application cannot copy temporary installation files to your local hard
disk.RESOLUTIONTo resolve this problem, remove the read-only access control for your Temp folder. To do this, follow these steps: - Locate the Temp folder on your
computer.
Note Typically, this folder is located in C:\Documents and
Settings\User Name\Local Settings, where User Name is your user
name. - Right-click Temp, and then click
Properties.
- Under Attributes, click to clear the check box for
Read-only.
Note The Confirm Attribute Changes dialog box may
appear (this behavior depends on the contents of your Temp folder). If this dialog box appears, click
Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files, and then
click OK. - Click OK.
STATUS This
behavior is by design.REFERENCESFor more information, visit the following Microsoft Web
