I am seeing this exact error while trying to install Autodesk Design Review. I downloaded the VS 2008 SP1 C++ runtime from the location suggested above, installed it, and retried the install several times. It gives this error each time. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the package many times, same result. Help please.
Thanks, Jon
same issue
did Microsoft software install and SP1 along with it. Reboot did not help
Could you please uninstall "Akamai NetSession Interface" from add or remove programs and have another try?
We would also like to get the log file for investigation.
SetupADR2012.log in the folder:
Windows 7
C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Local\Temp\AutodeskDesignReview2012Logs
Windows XP
C:\Documents and Settings\[your user name]\Local Settings\Temp\AutodeskDesignReview2012Logs
Please attach it while replying.
I have encountered this error> I have uninstalled VS 2008 SP1C++ and Akamai Netsession interface. Reloaded both and get the error again. This was not an issue about a week ago on similar machines. What else can I investigate or what information do you need to help resolve?
I uninstalled VS 2008 SP1 C++ Runtime, and Akamai Netsession Interface in Control Panel.
Same error.
Here are the entire contents of my SetupADR2012.log file:

Thanks, Jon
Got past it - go to this site:
http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/item?siteID=123112&id=10336080
and download the EXE you're looking for, not the MSI.
It's ~600Mb, so it'll take a while to see if it works for you.
We had analyzed and diagnosed these issues, we believe it's due to a defect with download manager and already fixed it, so please uninstall "Akamai NetSession Interface" from add or remove programs and retry.
I tried on a machine that already had ADR 2012 on it. Uninstalled Akamai, ADR 2012 Visual Studio 2010 and 2008. Retried the install and got the same error.
Used the .exe file again, no problem. Installed without a hitch.
