Error 1935: Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Install RRS feed

  • Question

  • I was trying to install Visual Studio 2010 and started encountering errors with the C++ distributable package during install, so I decided to install it by itself. Whenever I try and install it, it stops on Feature: FT_VC_Redist_openMP_x86 Enter text and I receive the following error message before it rolls the install back:

    Error 1935. An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'policy.9.0.Microsoft.VC90.MFC,version="9.0.30729.1",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",processorArchitecture="x86",type="win32-policy". Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x8007371B.

    I am running it in Admin mode and have tried disabling the services and restarting my machine. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. This problem is preventing me from installing numerous software titles that require this to be in place. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  • copy the file "C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log" to your document folder (otherwise you can't open it) and open it with notepad. Now search for errors. Which errors do you see? If you're unsure about the entries, upload the complete CBS.log to your public SkyDrive folder and post a link here.

  • Hi,

    you have a STATUS_SXS_ASSEMBLY_MISSING error. Have you modified the WinSxS folder?

    Please downlaod and run System Update Readiness Tool for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB947821) [April 2010] ( http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=914fbc5b-1fba-4bae-a7c3-d2c47c6fcffc ).

    After running the tool, open the file C:\Windows\logs\CBS\checkSUR.log and look if you still have missing or damaged files.

    best regards
    André

  • I believe it is a issue security issue preventing access to cataloge files.

    G:\Users\David\Desktop\Program Files(64)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Vc7\WinSXS\AMD64 catalogs

    Go to the "c:\windows\winsxs" folder and right click on it for properties  select security tab > advanced  > owner assign current user ownership. When done select permisions tab > check both boxes having to do with inheritable permisions at lower left. Retry the v++ 2008 x86 package.

  • Had the same problem for ages! For me the TrustedInstaller.exe was missing (possibly deleted by avast! antivirus) from C:\Windows\Servicing causing the TrustedInstaller service not to function properly. Check the service is fine by running services.msc and make sure the path specified in the TrustedInstaller service leads to a file. Copying the file from C:\Windows\winsxs fixed it for me!! :). Hope this helps.

  • Thanks Will .

    Note:  The Trusted Installer Service is called Windows Module Installer : Mine was disabled (oops I did it to reduce memory usage).  Once I enabled it, error 1935 gone.

    make an InPlace upgrade, because sfc needs the trsuetd installer.exe:

  • I copied the TrustedInstaller from my friends computer and placed it in mine and it works just fine now, but unfortunately did not fix my problem. Thank you for your response.

    Can anyone tell me what is/how to do this "repair install" that was mentioned earlier?

    How can I find out what is an "error"? 
    Sunday, June 5, 2011 10:46 PM
  • This did the trick for me.....

    I figured out that the service "Windows Modules Installer" was set to, start up type "disabled". After changing it to "manual" I was able to install VC redistributable.

    That's all.... Maybe you have to start the service also.

    I have the same problem as ndfan1993, so I did as described above.

    In that log the following message is repeated many times:

    CBS    Failed to get CSI store. [HRESULT = 0x80070246 - ERROR_ILLEGAL_CHARACTER]
    2011-10-13 16:17:36, Error                 CBS    Failed to initialize store parameters with boot drive:  and windows directory:  [HRESULT = 0x80070246 - ERROR_ILLEGAL_CHARACTER]

    Does anyone know what it means?

    Or does anyone have a suggestion as how to solve the problem? I'm unable to install most types of software such as windows office and games.

  • if anyone still interested in fixing the issue, here is what worked for me.

    None of the suggestions above worked, so I end up uninstalling Framework 4.5.2, then I restart the PC, when PC came backup it was doing updated (remember framework 4.5.2 was uninstalled), then it was doing clean up. After clean up was done, error disappeared.
