Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch.\n<\/p>\n<p>Some news outlets and blogs have reported that this would be or is a special edition of VS 2005 SP1 but it is actually a hotfix that installs on top of, and thus requires, Visual Studio 2005 SP1. The system requirements in KB929470 and on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/downloads\/details.aspx?familyid=90E2942D-3AD1-4873-A2EE-4ACC0AACE5B6\">download page<\/a> also state that SP1 is required.\n<\/p>\n<p>Also note that each localized hotfix targets more products than SP1. VS 2005 SP1 was <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.msdn.com\/heaths\/archive\/2006\/12\/29\/the-visual-studio-2005-service-pack-1-installation-experience.aspx\">split up<\/a> into multiple patches to prevent the patch package from being even larger than it is. This is because of how files are shared across products and stored within a patch package. VS 2005 SP1 targets separately,\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Localized versions of Standard, Professional, Team Suite (and the individual component SKUs, including Architect, Developer, and Tester), and co-installed products like the Test Agent and Controller.\n<\/li>\n<li>Localized versions of Team Foundation Server\n<\/li>\n<li>All languages for each particular Express SKU (i.e., all Visual C# 2005 Express localized editions, all Visual Basic 2005 Express localized editions, etc.)\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, if you have both a VS Express SKU and a VS SKU installed, you&#8217;ll need to download SP1 patch packages for each and install them first. Each patch may appear to <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.msdn.com\/heaths\/archive\/2006\/10\/06\/VS-2005-SP1-Tries-to-Install-Multiple-Times.aspx\">install multiple times<\/a> because many of our SKUs are comprised of multiple products that are each patched. Then install the Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista. If you later install another SKU, you will need to re-install both SP1 and the <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.msdn.com\/heaths\/archive\/2007\/03\/07\/visual-studio-2005-service-pack-1-update-for-windows-vista-available.aspx\">Vista update<\/a> for that SKU.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re attempting to install the Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista without having installed Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 first on all applicable products, you will receive Windows error 1642, which reads, The installer cannot install the upgrade patch because the program being upgraded may be missing or the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":389,"featured_media":3843,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[44,50],"class_list":["post-1583","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-vista","tag-vs2005sp1"],"acf":[],"blog_post_summary":"<p>If you&#8217;re attempting to install the Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista without having installed Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 first on all applicable products, you will receive Windows error 1642, which reads, The installer cannot install the upgrade patch because the program being upgraded may be missing or the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/setup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1583","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/setup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/setup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/setup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/389"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/setup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1583"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/setup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1583\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/setup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3843"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/setup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1583"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/setup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1583"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/setup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1583"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
