I tried both of these - and there was nothing relevant in the log file. I discussed this with a former DBA who's worked with TFS and suggested that perhaps the SQL Client Tools needed SP2 on the workstation - we tried that - and the user also saw messages referring to Windows Powershell (I didn't suggest that since he doesn't need BPA etc) and he installed Powershell.
Either the SQLSP2 or Powershell installs caused the installer to behave differently and actually issue a more useful error message: "Internal Error 2738". Googleing that showed the problem to be that is a vbscript runtime error, so reregistering vbscript.dll solved the problem...

There's two things I'd suggest: 1. Are you running the installer escalated? 2. Try running msiexec /i tfpt.msi /l*v c:\temp\tfptinstall.log and see if there are any clues in the log file William On Fri, Dec 19, 2008 at 3:09 AM, Daniel Sniderman <[email protected]> wrote: One of my client's users has been getting the following error. This happens IMMEDIATELY after the "I accept the License agreement" The use in question is doing SSRS report development - so he MUST use VS2005 and they are also using Check-in Policy - so we must install the power tools. Will the 2008 Powertools suffice for enforcement of check-in policy for the VS2005 IDE? Anyone seen this and have any ideas? I tried all the usual culprits. Reboot, delete temp folders. Nothing in the Event Logs. This is on Windows Vista Enterprise - and none of the other users at the client have had this issue...
