Vista prevents another Microsoft product from installing

[Mark]

Vista Home Premium prevents installation of Microsoft C++ 2005 SP1
Redistributable Package (x86) and returns Error 1935.

Microsoft website lists Microsoft C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)
as Vista compatible product.

Any solutions?

Install it manually and use Run as Administrator.

It happened when I tried to install manually. I downloaded vcredist_x86.exe
from Microsoft website, right clicked on the file and used option "run as
administrator".

Thank you for the interesting link.
I do not think it applies to my situation, because my computer does have an
administrator account. I am the administrator on my computer and I did try
to install that file as administrator.

You should check with a Visual Studio centric newsgroup, I'd think - error
1935 to me is Error: Authentication Firewall Failed. If that's your error,
it's a firewall problem. If that's not your error, the VS peoples might
know what 1935 translates to.

Can you advice where such a newsgroup is, please?

An user Admin account is locked down to standard user rights in some
situations with UAC enabled. Your admin account has two security tokens. One
is an Admin user token and the other one is a Standard user token. By
default, any user that logs into a Vista machine is assigned the Standard
user token. That's why you must Run as Administrator, even if you are logged
in as a non Super Admin to escalate privileges, with UAC enabled.

So, you can turn UAC off or use the Super Admin account, if you have read
the article and understood it, to see what happens with your problem of the
install not completing.
