Question

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

OS Version = 6.1.7601, Platform 2, Service Pack 1
OS Description = Windows 7 - x64 Enterprise Edition Service Pack 1

Final Result: Installation failed with error code: (0x80070643), "Fatal error during installation. " (Elapsed time: 0 00:14:10).

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

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.

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.
