Installing Visual Studio 2010 Express

[Martin Racette]

Hi,
I tried to install Visual Studio Express 2010 (VB, C#, C++, and Web
Develloper), and in the installation it need to install SQL EXPRESS (x64),
but it always end up with that it is unable to install SQL EXPRESS

So I downloaded the installation from the EXPRESS website, for both x86 and
x64, and neither can install when they install the SETUP FILES I get an
error

The following error has occurred:

Could not open key:
UNKNOWN\Components\43C313DB6EBAD154F901C6B5BFA69F06\C2BF01D69A282F04190DB76EC40FAD2F.
Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support
personne

I do have Administrator right, since I am the only user of that computer

BTW when I removed the SQL Server which does not work at all, it somehow
did something to the Office 2007 installation, and the only way to recover
from that was to
restore a 2 days old backup

SO I would like to know how to install Visual Studio 2010, and make sure
that it works like it is suppose to (with SQl Express if possible)

BTW I need answer asap since we will loose all this help system soon, since
Microsoft is removing all newsgroup, there will be no help anymore

Have you tried running the installer as administrator?

That is how I always run any installer, otherwise they do not even run
