Can't Install Asp.net MVC 3

15

I tried with both the web install platform and manually but both don't work.

I am trying to first install AspNetMVC3ToolsUpdateSetup.exe yet it always fails with a fatal error

I tried to do the fix here but it is not working for me.

Progress of installer

I get a bit further than what you see in the above screenshot as it seems to hit what I think is nuget and then instantly rollbacks. It happens so fast I can't get a good look.

I do have Visual Studios 2010 SP1 installed.

How I got mine to work:

  1. Downloaded and ran the AspNetMVC3ToolsUpdateSetup.exe, let it extract the files but do not accept the license terms and click install
  2. This created the folder C:\temp\ext27692 and within this folder are all the required installation files and configuration used in the installation. If you view the contents of the folder you'll notice there is a nuget.msi installation file. Note, VS on your computer already has the latest version so no need to install this.
  3. Quickly make a copy of the folder C:\temp\ext27692, while execution in point 1 is still running and then click Cancel. This will rollback and delete what it created.
  4. Within the copy of the C:\temp\ext27692 you made in point 3, locate the file parameterinfo.xml and open it using a text editor
  5. Locate the following lines within the opened parameterinfo.xml file and delete them

    <MSI CanonicalTargetName="NuGet"
         DownloadSize="756736"
         EstimatedInstallTime="849920"

                        </LessThanOrEqualTo>
                    </Or>
                    <LessThanOrEqualTo LeftHandSide="30319.01" BoolWhenNonExistent="false">

                    </LessThanOrEqualTo>
                </Or>
                <LessThanOrEqualTo LeftHandSide="30319.01" BoolWhenNonExistent="false">
                    <RegKeyValue Location="HKLM\Software\Microsoft\DevDiv\vns\Servicing\10.0\xcor\Version"/>
                </LessThanOrEqualTo>
            </Or>
        </ApplicableIf>
        <ActionTable>
            <InstallAction IfPresent="noop" IfAbsent="install" />
            <UninstallAction IfPresent="uninstall" IfAbsent="noop" />
            <RepairAction IfPresent="repair" IfAbsent="install" />
        </ActionTable>
    </MSI>
    
  6. Save the parameterinfo.xml

  7. Within the copy of the C:\temp\ext27692 you made, now locate the file setup.exe and execute it.

This will install MVC3 but not the old version of the NuGet.

You may need to check several options:

  1. Check the control panel for installed versions of MVC framework
  2. Follow the uninstall in descending order like 5-4-3
  3. Try the following order when having nuget errors
  • Uninstall Nuget
  • Install MVC
  • Install latest nuget

NOTE: In addition to ASP.NET MVC3, if you have latest versions of MVC (4,5,6) you should remember to uninstall them by descending order.

  1. Uninstall MVC 4 using Control Panel.
  2. Install MVC 3 using stand-alone installer: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=1491 (AspNetMVC3ToolsUpdateSetup.exe).
  3. Install MVC 4 using Web Platform Installer.

It works for me. I did not touch NuGet.

IF you have also previously installed ASP.NET MVC4, I also had to uninstall Microsoft ASP.NET Web Pages from Control Panel -> Programs.

I then installed using web platform installer, and it all worked!
