When I try to install R# build 259 I get an error 1721 that tells me
JetBrains ReSharper for Visual Studio 2005 – Error 1721.There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action: SetupDevenvInstall, location: C:\WINDOWS\, command: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\\devenv.exe /setup
I have tried both the 2003 and 2005 installation packages, both gives the same error. Even tried an earlier version (build 257) but it also gave me the same problem (that version has been installed on my system before) (was uninstalled by the installation package)
Issue was closed
After I click ok the whole installation is rolled back.
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\InstallDir
to not include whitespaces (in my example)
before
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE
after
C:\Progra~1\MID05A~1\Common7\IDE
The installation passed successfully (for vs 8)??? Did you forget to quote the path or what???
Tested before editing the registry value, then it failed as above.
After editing the registry value to the 2003 equivalent (short name, 8dot3), the installation passed.
Tried to quote the path instead of using 8dot3 notations but that didn't work....
