Any thoughts / similar experiences / workarounds ?
Do you happen to have an older version of Visual Studio installed on this same computer or did you used to?
Check Control Panel Programs to see what versions are currently installed.

Thank-you Chris.
I did see other posts relating to the issue of multiple versions of VS being installed (and the published workaround).
However, in this case, this is a brand new vm. provisioned specifically to evaluate these products. No previous history of Visual Studio installs.
(I did uninstall Visual Studio and re-installed it - but still get the same error. Which is re-assuring .. we like software to be deterministic :-)
I appreciate that 10.0.0 is quite fresh ... although I suspect that this particular check within the installer is not new. Is it known what file / attribute is being checked and I can verify that on this machine ?

I just tested this here using all identical OS and product versions and it installed fine for me.
Can you please upload the entire .log file?
If you haven't done so yet, could you please try rebooting the computer?

Chris. Appreciate you investigating.
I had indeed rebooted the instance - however, still the same error from the installer.

I compared your log file with mine where it installed ok and I only see a couple of minor differences.
You appear to be installing on Windows 10 OS- Windows v10.0 (Build 17763 Service Pack 0) and I am installing on Windows Server 2022 OS - Windows v10.0 (Build 20348: Service Pack 0)
You appear to be using your D drive as your system drive and I am using my C drive.
Neither one of these items should cause the problem you are experiencing.
Can you please show me the screenshot from navigating to Visual Studio Help-->About Visual Studio?

Chris,
Thank-you. You raise a few points - I believe that this is a Windows Server install. Therefore, there's something within the logs that suggests that the installer doesn't agree ?
EDIT: Have just learnt winver and can confirm that this is Server 2019, not Server 2022 as I initially stated.
System files appear to be on the c:\\ drive for this vm, however, personal / user files are using d:\\.
This is an AWS Workspace and therefore, there's the possibility that the installer is not seeing the expected machine configuration.
Here's the About screen.
In the meantime - I'm going to provision an Azure vm to see if I can get better alignment with your successful install (Server 2022 & c:\\).
Thanks again for responding ! Hopefully will learn something here that is useful for the community

Have reproduced the same result on an Azure provisioned vm.

Is there any configuration options to the installer where I could increase trace levels that may provide further insight ?
Thank-you again.

Do you have any additional .log files in your %TEMP% directory? The install would normally create log files that start with MFVSIX or additional Visual_COBOL ones for other components?
I am trying to reproduce this here but so far I haven't been able to. I am running on an AWS VM. I noticed that you dont have any components or workloads installed in Visual Studio so I tried uninstalling the ones I had installed and it still didnt fail. I will try on a fresh machine with nothing installed.
Can you try running the Visual Studio installer and install at least the Desktop Development with C++ workload and try again?

One more thing... Can you check the properties of the visual COBOL product installer file and click on the detail tab and tell me the version number that is listed. Also, what is the exact size of the installer file?

You have identified the missing dependency -> a VS Workload. I had assumed that the installer would install any VS Workload that it needed. However, following your recommendation and installing the c++ Desktop Development Workload as a pre-req. meant that the installer continued without issue.
Note that there weren't any MFVSIX* files in the temp directory (however, I believe that this was because the installer hadn't got as far as actually creating them (I hadn't seen the first of the 2 screen grabs before).
I repeated the same steps on the Azure vm that I provisioned earlier today and can confirm that this too installed successfully.
Thank-you. Ideally an easy thread and resolution for anyone to find in the future.

This is really good news! It is strange because I tried installing without that workload as well and it worked for me. The installer should download and install its dependencies automatically.
I will continue to research but I am glad that you got passed it.
Thanks.
