-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The installation is failing due to the corruption of one of the cab files corresponding to the component listed in the error/log file (for eg. D:\Setup\Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate\packages\64bitPrereq\x64\VS_Prerequisites_x64_neutral.cab and D:\Setup\Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate\packages\professionalcore\Setup\cab1.cab in the two cases illustrated above)

RESOLUTION:

To handle the issue, you first need to correctly download the .iso for Visual Studio 2012 from your MSDN downloads page, or from https://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/downloads as the case may be.

 

Here is how you can calculate the hash value that you will need to compare against the one listed on the Visual Studio 2012 download page-

1. Download the File Checksum Integrity Verifier utility (Windows-KB841290-x86-ENU.exe) from https://support.microsoft.com/kb/841290

2. Extract (by execution) ‘Windows-KB841290-x86-ENU.exe’ to get ‘fciv.exe’

3. Start >> run >> CMD

4. <Extraction_Path>\fciv.exe -md5 -sha1 <VS2012_Download_Path>\<VS2012_iso>

     Eg. C:\Users\ritsinha>C:\Users\ritsinha\Desktop\fciv.exe -md5 -sha1 "D:\Setup\Visual Studio\vs_ultimate.iso"

More at https://support.microsoft.com/kb/889768!

 

Once you are sure that the value calculated matches, you can launch the Visual Studio 2012 setup. You will see a screen similar to-

clip_image006

And you will have to go ahead with the ‘Uninstall’ option. This should get you to this screen -

clip_image008

Once this is done, you can re-launch the setup for Visual Studio 2012 and this time it should run through successfully.
