I'm having a really hard time installing Visual Studio on my Windows 8 laptop. It hangs every time on "Applying: Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1" for roughly a half hour, then spews out an error message (different every time). One of the error messages just says "Fatal error during installation" and another just says "Asia."
I've updated windows as far as it will go, I've tried deleting the contents of %temp%, I've made sure I'm an administrator and am using "Run as Administrator" on the installer. I've tried disabling my antivirus. All to no avail.
the log file was to big to include in this post, but I think these are all the relevant lines.
I couldn't include the entire log file since It is too big, but these lines look like they might be relevant:
