InfoPath Toolkit for VS 2003

[Greg McAllister]

I have VS .NET 2003 with VB, C#, and J# loaded and have been using it
regularly for around a year now. I have also installed the Framework 1.1 with
SP1 currently installed. When I try to install the Toolkit I keep getting
this error: "Setup cannot detect the required version of Visual Stdio .NET on
this computer. Before you install this product, you must install a matching
regional language version of Visual Studio .NET 2003, Visual Basic .NET 2003,
or Visual C# .NET 2003."

I am unable to find any KB article regarding this and am now coming to you
all for help. What is up with this error message? When I click on the OK
button the dialog goes away and the message comes up saying there has been an
error installing the toolkit. Help! I really need to put the toolkit in place
for my other developers.

I checked with some people who know more, and one possibility is that the
Toolkit you're installing is for a different locale than your VisualStudio.
For instance, if you´re installing the English Toolkit, the installer will
check for a registry key under
The MSI looks at the following reg key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\Setup\VS\BuildNumber\1033.

If it´s not there, that´s one reason the install could fail.

Thanks,
Brian

Hello,

I have the same issue... This key is indeed not present, but even if I
create it manually, it still doesn't work. Actually, not only 1033 key is
absent but also BuildNumber...

Is there something else to add? Why is this absent?

Thanks,

Cédric

Are you using the correct Toolkit language for your version of VS? You won't
have the 1033 key if you don't have an English version of VS.

Hi Brian,

Yes it was the correct language. But, even "BuildNumber" was not present. So
I finally uninstalled everything (VS.NET), et reinstalled it. And it finally
worked... This time your key was present indeed (a little bit different from
the way I created it manually before).

So now it works!

Thanks,

Cédric

Well, glad it got figured out. Now we'll know to suggest that if those
registry keys don't seem to exist.
