Visual Studio 2010 Installation Issue – Setup Failed with HRESULT -2147467259
If you Visual Studio 2010 setup keeps failing when it tries to install the Visual C++ runtime, here’s a quick fix for you.
Try installing one of the Visual Studio 2010 Express Editions (I did the Web Edition: http://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx) and then run the VS2010 installation.
I think it has something to do with mounting the ISO as a drive.
