Unfortunately, a set of setup & deployment issues have been reported with the Visual C++ 2008 Feature Pack. Some of these are blocking issues and, as a result, we are currently working on a refresh of the Feature Pack. In the interim, a list of the issues and their workarounds is provided below. These issues will all be addressed via the refresh.

Workaround
|
|
Feature Pack failed to install on German OS or English OS with German locale.
|
Before installing the Feature Pack, change the Regional & Language settings as follows:
On XP: Control Panel ->Regional and Language Options->Regional Options, set “Standards and Formats” to “English(United States)”
On Vista: : Control Panel ->Regional and Language Options->Formats, set “Current Format” to “English(United States)”
Once installation completes, you can restore your Regional & Language settings.

VCRedist_x86.exe failed to install on Vista and Windows Server 2008
|
No current workaround. We are working on publishing a fixed VCRedist_x86.exe
|
|
VCRedist_x86.exe installs the ATL and OpenMP assemblies with the wrong processor architecture, which will cause ATL and OpenMP applications targeting x86 to fail.
|
No current workaround. We are working on publishing a fixed VCRedist_x86.exe
