Thanks for your feedback.  We have heard this issue from other customers too and understand how it's current behavior is not the best.  We're looking into ways to improve this in the future.

Just in case my previous post got overlooked, here is my log file and the error screenshot.

Thank you for your question.

Please try the following steps:

Unzip c:\program files\common files\akamai\Cache\37309\SetupDesignReview2012.msi.zip to a temp folder.

Run msiexec /i SetupDesignReview2012.msi /l*v c:\temp.log

Attach c:\temp.log to this post for research.

I keep getting the same internal error as well, how did you rectify this problem

if you have.

Any help would be most apprecated.

Thanks.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Hi,

Please Unzip c:\program files\common files\akamai\Cache\37309\SetupDesignReview2012.msi​.zip to a temp folder. Run "msiexec /i SetupDesignReview2012.msi /l*v c:\temp.log" at the command prompt in the temp folder. Attach c:\temp.log to this thread for deep investigation.

I am having the following issue: we install the Visual C++ 2010 SP1 redistributable as part of our baseline image. The initial Visual C++ 2010 redistributable cannot be installed along side the SP1 version. As has been documented in this topic already, Design Review 2012 does not check for newer versions of the VC++ 2010 redistributable and thus fails to install with the following error:

MSI (s) (A0:68) [14:27:05:184]: Product: Autodesk Design Review 2012 -- Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 redistributable is required to continue with the installation. Please visit Microsoft download site to retrieve the redistributable package.

My question is: will Design Review 2012 be properly fixed to detect all versions of the required redistributables?

If not, what *exactly* does the Design Review 2012 installer check for so I can temporarily simulate the installation of the older redistributable for the Design Review installation? If nothing else I like the installer to go forward regardless of whether or not it thinks the redistributable is installed, because I know that it is.

Hope this helps.

Here is some information for the packagers of Design Review:

The best way to check for the Visual C++ 2010 redistributable is to check for the mentioned registry key instead of the uninstall key with the product ID. This allows your application to work with updated versions of the 2010 SP1 VCRedist as well as the original.

For anyone, like me, who would rather not install the old VC++ 2010 redistributable (and would instead like to install the SP1 version) here are some steps you can follow to make it work:

1. First, you must make sure that you have the extracted version of Design Review 2012. This version is installed by running the SetupDesignReview2012.msi file.
2. Next, download and install "InstEd It!". You can also use Orca, if you have it.
3. Open up SetupDesignReview2012.msi with InstEd It!
4. Click Transform -> New Transform (this keeps the original MSI unchanged)
5. Name your transform
6. Open the RegLocator table
7. Find the Signature_ row for NewSignature114. THis is used to detect the VC2010 redistributable (you can see VS2010 as the row key in the reference tracking portion of the screen)
8. Change the Key value for this row from "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{196BB40D-1578-3D01-B289-BEFC77A11A1E}" to "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{F0C3E5D1-1ADE-321E-8167-68EF0DE699A5}". The GUID that starts with F0C3E5D1 is the GUID for the VC2010 SP1 Redistributable which is fully compatible with the VC2010 Redistributable. The GUIDs for both are in the link above.
9. Save the transform (default values are fine)
10. Install Design Review with "msiexec /i setupdesignreview2012.msi TRANSFORMS=transformname.mst"

This will make the installer look for the SP1 version of the VC 2010 Redistributable instead of the original version.

Also, if you have been installing the .NET Framework 4.0 Client Profile instead of the full install you can edit the NewSignature112 row's key to be "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Client" to allow the software to install with the client profile. I have not fully tested Design Review with the client profile, so it is possible that features in the full profile are required.
