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

Viewed 136873

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?

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.
