Problem:
Error message;
"Failed to set up Integrated Development Environment
At least one Net Express option failed to install .please exit setup and start install again"
Resolution:
This can be caused by a problem with the 16-bit subsystem setup on the workstation
To check if the 16-bit subsystem is setup properly;
- Reboot your workstation to ensure that you are working in a clean environment. *** Please ensure that you are log on as a user that has administrator rights ***
- Once the machine is rebooted, move your cursor on your taskbar, right click and bring up Task Manager.
- Go to Start/Accessories/Command Prompt to start a Command Prompt.
- type the following command; command.com, and press enter.
- Under normal circumstances you should see a new process in your Task Manager called NTVDM.EXE
- If you have a problem, you should see and error message usually something like; "WOW NTVDM illegal instruction message".
If this happens you will need to increase the environment space that is made available to the 16-bit subsystem. To do so you will need to edit a file called config.nt that is located in your windows\\system32 directory and add a shell line at the end. The line should be like this;
SHELL=%SYSTEMROOT%\\SYSTEM32\\COMMAND.COM /E:32700 /P
The /E:xxxxx parameter informs the command.com to allocate 32700 bytes of space.
Save the config.nt file and attempt the installation of version 4.0 again.
