Can't install the Authoring Tool
-
Thursday, December 02, 2010 9:08 PM
Im trying to install the Authoring Tool (which I've done several times before, not on this machine though) and can't get pass the Prereqs. The setup claims that I don't have Microsoft Visual Studio Shell 2008 installed, even though I have. Re-installing the VS Shell doesn't help, and installing Visual Studio 2010 didn't solve the problem either.
The installation log says:
09:19:58:CheckPrerequisites: Checking Microsoft Visual Studio Shell 2008 Check prereq.
09:19:58:Entered RequiredVsShell
09:20:04:Error occured while detecting VS Shell 2008 SP1 Redistributable: Generic failure
09:20:04:Trying alternate method of detection using Assembly.Load

09:20:04:CheckPrerequisites: Microsoft Visual Studio Shell 2008 Check: FailedI checked c:\windows\assembly, and there is an assembly named 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.9.0' there...
Anyone experienced this issue before or have any hints on how to troubleshoot this?(It's a Windows 7, x64 btw)

I had the same issue... it seems that a lot of people got the same issue...
Install both software manually.
Visual Studio 2008 Shell SP1 -> "SCSM_AuthoringTool_2010_SP1\CDImage\Prerequisites\VS2K8Shell\en\vs_shell_isolated.exe"
Authoring Tool SP1 -> Run the CMD console as Administrator and write the command line below:
msiexec /i "SCSM_AuthoringTool_2010_SP1\CDImage\Setup\AuthoringTool.msi"
It worked for me !

Following...
I am having the same problem on my Windows 7 machine. I don't have Visual Studio on my machine, but I was under the impression that the pre-requisite checker would install the necessary components. I follow the link provided by the installer and let it install the visual studio shell, but when I re-run the pre-req check, the visual studio shell continues to fail. I figured that meant i require Visual Studio to run the Authoring Tool... I then successfully installed it on the scsm server, so I just work directly off the server... i would be nice to figure this out though and get the Authoring Tool to run on my laptop.

I have the same issue... I have installed the integrated shell 6 ways to Sunday but the install will not get past the prerequisites.
Any ideas?

I just uninstalled everything and reinstalled it manually and it worked by this method:
Install both software manually.
Visual Studio 2008 Shell SP1 -> "SCSM_AuthoringTool_2010_SP1\CDImage\Prerequisites\VS2K8Shell\en\vs_shell_isolated.exe"
Authoring Tool SP1 -> Run the CMD console as Administrator and write the command line below:
msiexec /i "SCSM_AuthoringTool_2010_SP1\CDImage\Setup\AuthoringTool.msi"
I have visual studio 2010 installed and it still worked.
Thank you very much for your help
