Installing SQL Server 2012 - Error Prior Visual Studio 2010 instances requiring update

Question

I m trying to install SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition and I can get to the point where it s doing the Installation Rule Checks but one of the rules keep failing    Prior Visual Studio 2010 instances requiring update   It basically indicates that I need to have VS2010 SP1 installed  However  I DO have VS2010 SP1 installed  I ve tried reapplying the VS2010 SP1 and installing the VS2010 patches on the SQL Server 2012 media as well to no avail   Is anyone else seeing this issue  Have any ideas that I could try

I had this issue too  after following this guide  it was simply 1 additional patch that was required to get past the     Rule  Prior Visual Studio 2010 instances requiring update   failed    Was to locate this file  and patch my machine     VS10sp1-KB983509 msp   Simply do a file search on the installation media for SQL Server 2012  in my case it was in  redist VisualStudioShell  whereas in the guide it s listed as being in a different location    Then hit  re-run

I wanted to install SQL server 2014 and same story happened  I had installed both VS2010 and VS2015 before  I tried all solutions where provided nothing worked At last If you have new versions of VS like VS2015 or VS2017  uninstall VS2010  if you really don t need it     If you want to have VS2010 on your system  install SQL server first and then install VS2010 When SQL server is installing it uses an instance of VS2010  if you have installed VS2010 before and that is an old version this error happens

Only install the Service Pack  VS10sp1-KB983509 msp  wasn t enough to me    I had to uninstall the Visual Studio Team Explorer 2010 to continue the installation

there are two way   First    Inside your CD of SQL Server 2012   you can go to this path  redist VisualStudioShell   And you most install this file VS10sp1-KB983509 msp   After several minutes your problem fix   Restart your computer and then fire SetUp of SQL Server 2012   See this picture     Secound     But if you want download online Service Pack 1 view This Link  And press download   After download run this exe file and let it download and fix your VS2010 to VS2010 SP1   And then restart your windows   After this operation you can install SQL Server 2012

I had this same problem installing SQL Server 2014  Turns out it was due to a Windows Phone toolkit that I had installed back in 2010  If you run into this  make sure you uninstall any Windows phone stuff that isn t current    I figured it out by looking at the log  which can be found by clicking  Detailed Report   which opens an HTML file  The file path is conveniently displayed within the HTML page  Open the directory that the file is in and look for  Detail txt   Then search for the word  fail    In my case there was a line showing WP  something  as  Installed   I searched for the WP  item and came across some blog posts about trouble uninstalling Windows Phone toolkits   When I attempted to uninstall the windows phone I ran into more trouble  The uninstaller wanted to install three packages instead of uninstalling the toolkit  Eventually found this blog post  http   blogs msdn com b astebner archive 2010 07 12 10037442 aspx linking to this XNA cleanup tool  http   blogs msdn com b astebner archive 2009 04 10 9544320 aspx    I ran the cleanup tool and finally SQL Server installer passed the check and allowed me to install  Hope this helps someone
