VS.PHP Vista x64 install problems

Posted July 22nd, 2008 by Jonny

Hi there,
I'm running Vista Ultimate x64 SP1, and when installing VS.php 2.5 for Visual Studio 2008, I receive the following message:

I am running the installer as administrator, and I even put it in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP2. From Googling around, it appears to be a problem with registering ATL90.dll into the C:\Windows\winsxs directory.
I went as far as to extract the MSI file, and upon looking at the manifest files in {MSI Extraction Directory}\Jcx.Software\VS.Php\2008\2.5\Windows\winsxs\Manifests, the assemblies appear to be x86 only.
If this problem cannot be resolved, I will suppose I will run VS.Php in a 32bit virtual machine, which is less than efficient for development.

Thanks for your time, and creating this great product.

    People use VS.Php with Vista

    Did you have a previous version installed?

    Also, can you run the installer with log enabled like this:

    msiexec /l log.txt /i vsphp_en.msi

    Perhaps there is more info there.

    Thanks,
