Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1

1. Visual Studio
2. Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 For Windows Server 2012
3. Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 Redistributable X64

I have installed the German version of Visual Studio 2010 Professional (got it per Microsoft DreamSpark). When I'm trying to install the Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1, I get the following message from the installer:

Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 is now available for MSDN subscribers (and tomorrow for everyone else). Now the question is - are current WP7 Developer Tools compatible with SP1? And if yes, then what is the recommended installation path: 1) VS2010 - WP7 SDK - WP7 SDK Updates - VS2010 SP1.

Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 kann nicht installiert werden, da es vom aktuellen Zustand dieses Computers nicht unterstützt wird. Anweisungen zum Beheben des Problems finden Sie in der Infodatei auf der Microsoft Download Center-Website.

An English translation is:

Can't install SP1, as the actual state of the Computer is not supported.

Does anybody has a similar problem and a solution? My operating system is Windows 7 64-Bit (German Edition).

I had the same problem with my Visual Studio 2010 Premium, also on a German Windows 7 64 bit. After several hours I managed to install the Service Pack 1.

The problem is that the setup requires Visual Studio Tools for Office to be installed on x64 machines. So customize your Visual Studio 2010 Installation via the control panel (add/remove programs) and add the feature 'Microsoft Office Developer Tools (x64)'. After adding this feature, you will be able to start the SP1 Setup.

If you have Visual Studio 2010 and are trying to install Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 (regardless of whether via Windows Update, Online installer or Offline Standalone SP1 Installer) it needs Office Tools for Visual Studio 2010. However only the Runtime MSI Packages (vstodtr40_x86.msi or stodt40r_x64.msi) are available for download. You actually need the installer vstodt40_x64.msi (64-Bit) or vstodt40_x86.msi (32-Bit). On commercial versions of Visual Studio 2010 these are included in the Folder WCUVSTO.

After you install the Office Tools as above you will be able to install the Service Pack. If you try with just the runtime it will fail. I know because I tested it.

I had the same issue.

First you have to download Visual Studio 2010 Tools for the Office System 4.0 Runtime Service Pack 1.

After you install it successfully, download Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1.

Both packs are located with the same link:(https://my.visualstudio.com/Downloads?q=visual%20studio%202010%20service%20pack%201)
