I installed SQL Server Express 2008 after installing VS2010 but I don't find three files you are talking about. I downloaded VS2010 in an msi file I don't show those three things loaded in control panel - program and features. Where can I get just those three files to fix the install.

Running Vista x64 Home Premium.

Mark Dellaca's method of repairing the SQL Server 2008 R2 Data-Tier via the VS2010 Ultimate CD worked for me, as well:

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Data-Tier Application Framework with this command:
\WCU\DAC\DACFramework_enu.msi

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Data-Tier Application Project:
\WCU\DAC\DACProjectSystemSetup_enu.msi

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Transact-SQL Language Service:
\WCU\DAC\TSqlLanguageService_enu.msi

I have the following error:

Package 'RadLangSvc.Package, RadLangSvc.VS, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91' failed to load.

Following Mark Dellaca's method dated 2/4/11 and jericsmith2's post on 5/12/2011, my problem is resolved.

Thanks!

Perfect Solution at Perfect Time
Thanks Mark Dellacca....

Posted by Sabuncu on 12/29/2011 at 9:50 PM

Had the same problem, fixed it using Mark Dellaca's method (see entry dated 2/4/11). I had SQL Server 2008 installed prior, that may have had something to do with this.

After wasting so much time, finally found this thread. Thanks a lot Mark Dellacca!

Or just delete this folder: :) C:\Users\YouTheUser'sName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0

Posted by MaxTrance on 10/26/2011 at 2:16 AM

This worked for me thanks jericsmith2 go right to the source. If you're running SQL Server 2008 post VS2010 installation these 3 mentioned packages will be an issue "2008" is higher. If you've reinstalled your VS2010 the Database packages are already designated as part of your VS2010. Resetting the Packages fixes this issue. Find a way to do a clean install of your VS2010 or find the files that have these packages defined.

Hi, I have now the same problem but in the SQL Server, I try to install the three files: DacFramework, Dacproject and TSqlLanguageService but the three files show me the message that installation failed because a higher version already exist on the machine. Please help me, what can I do. Thanks.

Posted by 3 Putt Bogey on 9/6/2011 at 12:54 PM

If you've installed VS 2010 SP1 you will need to run the mentioned .msi files from the service pack files. At least that's what I had to do.

Posted by Hal Rose on 8/25/2011 at 9:55 AM

Thanks - I found this on the second MSDN search hit. Worked like a charm.

Thanks a lot Mark Dellacca for solution.

Posted by josh1079 on 7/27/2011 at 1:14 PM

The workaround posted by Mark Dellacca on 2/4/2011 at 8:23 AM work for me as well. Thanks a ton, Mark!

Posted by darxandra on 7/8/2011 at 6:44 AM

The workaround posted by Mark Dellacca on 2/4/2011 worked for me. Thank you, Mark.

The issue first appeared after I installed VS SP1.

Posted by JorgeCastlestein on 4/25/2011 at 8:37 PM

The solution was perfect for me. It fixed my problems after long hours of research. However, if you run into the issue were one of the .msi files fails to execute, copy the file from your .ISO or DISC to a local folder in your computer to run.

Posted by Shital Mehta on 3/29/2011 at 3:39 PM

Thanks Mark.
\WCU\DAC\DACProjectSystemSetup_enu.msi solved my issue.

Posted by IsmailS on 3/17/2011 at 8:44 PM

Thank @Martin_Filteau. It worked. :-)

Posted by carl lorentson on 3/8/2011 at 10:58 AM

Loading these 3 manually seems to have fixed the problem for me. I was getting the errors at both start up and when I opened the Font dialog box under environment options.

Posted by Mark Dellacca on 2/4/2011 at 8:23 AM

I installed the three packages from the Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate DVD and it fixed the problem right away for me.

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Data-Tier Application Framework with this command:
\WCU\DAC\DACFramework_enu.msi

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Data-Tier Application Project:
\WCU\DAC\DACProjectSystemSetup_enu.msi

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Transact-SQL Language Service:
\WCU\DAC\TSqlLanguageService_enu.msi

I just encountered it too - thanks for the workaround - don't belive I would have found that myself.

Posted by DanielStruve on 2/1/2011 at 8:14 AM

Just had the same problem.

Posted by coding4ever on 1/31/2011 at 11:10 AM

Just upgraded to SQL 2008 R2 and had the same problem. After spending a day repairing VS2010 I found this thread and the workaround fixed it. Up voting this for a real fix since we're looking at rolling VS2010 to a large dev group here but we're not going to be upgrading to 2008 R2 until next year at the earliest so having 100+ devs with this issue won't be good....

Posted by NateTheGreat on 12/7/2010 at 8:15 AM

Martin's approach worked for me as well. Looks like my recent install of SQL Server 2008 R2 led to these problems. It also fixed my problem of VS hanging when I tried to open a .SQL file.

Thank you, Martin!

Posted by gligoran on 11/20/2010 at 9:45 AM

The Allen Zhou method worked for me too :) Actually I had to only run the \WCU\DAC\DACProjectSystemSetup_enu.msi.

Posted by Mark K_ on 11/15/2010 at 11:09 AM

Thanks a lot, martin! worked:)

Posted by Stonebreaker on 9/24/2010 at 9:05 AM

Ran the 3 packages listed by Martin and the bugs went away.

Posted by Martin_Filteau on 9/17/2010 at 1:44 PM

I found that installing manually the following packages from Visual Studio 2010 installation ISO solves the issue:

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Data-Tier Application Framework with this command:
\WCU\DAC\DACFramework_enu.msi

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Data-Tier Application Project:
\WCU\DAC\DACProjectSystemSetup_enu.msi

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Transact-SQL Language Service:
\WCU\DAC\TSqlLanguageService_enu.msi

Regards,

-Martin

Posted by Thomas-work on 9/16/2010 at 4:34 AM

Not fixed. Installed all of VS 2010 Express then removed it, then installed VS 2010 shell. Now getting this error. There are no such files on the Express DVD to reinstall. What to do?

Posted by Jan Van der Haegen on 8/30/2010 at 11:59 PM

Allen zhou++

Posted by Jerry Nettleton on 8/26/2010 at 11:27 AM

I tried running the 'Repaire/Reinstall' option for VS 2010 but that process didn't take care of this problem. I had to run the repear 3 tools (DACFramework_enu.msi ,DACProjectSystemSetup_enu.msi ,TSqlLanguageService_enu.msi) that were mentioned in this thread.

Someone should repair/fix the 'Repair' option for VS 2010...

Posted by Vaccanoll on 8/17/2010 at 1:46 PM

This happens if you have installed SQL Server 2008 R2 (I think). Installing the files indicated by Allen zhou fixes the issue. Thanks Allen!

Posted by Vaccanoll on 8/17/2010 at 1:35 PM

This should not be "Fixed" as it is happening in the current version.

Posted by GregChernis on 7/15/2010 at 10:08 AM

@Jalf: you're not the only one who feels this way.

Posted by jalf_ on 7/11/2010 at 1:43 PM

I wonder why this was closed as "fixed". From the comments so far, it seems that one user posted a possible workaround. But the bug seems pretty real and reproducible. The VS installer doesn't clean up properly when uninstalling and/or does not always install the dependencies it needs to run correctly.

Regardless of the workaround posted, I'd like to see this fixed in the next release. Is that just me?

Posted by snoopdiggy on 7/9/2010 at 8:51 PM

Thank you Allen! I wish there was a way your comment could be marked as the answer.

Posted by jtenute on 7/8/2010 at 5:15 AM

Thanks - Installing (DACFramework_enu.msi ,DACProjectSystemSetup_enu.msi ,TSqlLanguageService_enu.msi) resolved the package load errors for me. I had not installed SQL Express during initial install, so none of those three tools were installed.

Posted by 周仑 on 7/4/2010 at 8:48 PM

I've experienced the same problem and was able to resolve the problem by manually reinstalling or repear 3 tools (DACFramework_enu.msi ,DACProjectSystemSetup_enu.msi ,TSqlLanguageService_enu.msi) in VS Installation CD just under X:\WCU\DAC. You can try it . Good luck!

Posted by irefactor on 6/14/2010 at 11:44 AM

I've experienced the same problem and was able to resolve the problem by installing Developer Express's IDE tools and then uninstalling them.

CodeRush, etc. had been previously installed on my system. When we upgraded to their latest version of the components, I decided not to use/install their IDE tools. I experienced the problem after the upgrade. So it appears that the installer did not clean up the package info during the upgrade (IDE tools previously installed, but then unticked during upgrade). Installing the IDE tools and uninstalling seems to do the trick. I hope this helps someone.

This problem may occur if you installed CodeRush. Try to reinstall CodeRush if you have it.

Posted by gabriel.lozano-moran on 4/28/2010 at 12:50 PM

I have the same problem:

1) Clean installation of Windows 7 Ultimate x86
2) Installed Visual Studio 2008 Professional (custom installation, all components except SQL Server express)
3) Installed Service Pack 1 for Visual Studio 2008
4) Installed Visual Studio 2010 Premium (custom installation, all components except SQL Server express)

Results was bunch the packages that failed to load. Repair installation or resetsettingsfull did not fix this.

Also, can you please run the Collect.exe tool (available here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e0da314f-6216-4a18-bc6b-7d29cf83af20&displaylang=en) and send us any logs that were collected. I'm curious if there is any info from the uninstall of VS that may be useful.

Posted by Microsoft on 2/11/2010 at 10:03 AM

Can you run the following command, and then post the file to the MS connect bug, or email it if you prefer.

reg export HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0 Bug_858452_RegistryDump_PostVSUninstall.reg

The reason you're seeing these errors is that registry contains certain entries about VS packages to be loaded, but the assemblies where those packages are defined aren't on disk. Thus the package-load errors.

Given that you cancelled the RC install, I'm not sure if the registry entries were left over from beta2, or if there was some problem with the cancelling the install.

I would suggest the following:

1. Uninstall Dev10.
2. Run the various registry & file-system queries posted by "Microsoft" @ 3:14 PM on 2/10/2010.
3. Post the output from the commands above into this bug.

Note that after an uninstall, none of the registry entries should be there. If they are there, then we'll need to manually delete them, and then re-install dev10 RC.

Posted by MarcD on 2/10/2010 at 3:53 PM

Installed Beta 2 (Unhecked SQL 2008) - > Uninstalled Beta 2 -> Installed RC (Chose complete package) -> Canceled prior to it hitting sql server 2008 installation. It siad it was going to finish installing the component it was on and it did finish.

REbooted and launched the RC
Got the errors
Chose a Repair optionand several reboots later still had the problem

Posted by Microsoft on 2/10/2010 at 3:49 PM

Can you list what steps you did to get into this state? For example, "install beta 2, uninstall beta 2, install dev10 RC selecting option X,..."?

I had to uncheck "SQL 2008" stuff on both installs because I am using SQL 2005. Everything else was installed to the best of my knowledge.

Posted by Microsoft on 2/10/2010 at 10:29 AM

When you re-installed the first time, did you do a custom install? Or did you only install native components (i.e., only installed C/C++ components, and not install any C# or VB?)

If so, it sounds like there may have been some cruft left in your registry trying to auto-load some packages whose assemblies weren't installed.

Posted by Will Sullivan on 2/9/2010 at 11:32 AM

I uninstalled visual studio 2010 (not .NET 4) and did a reinstall and everything works now. Not sure what happened.

One thing you can try is collect the logs using Log Collection Utility: http://blogs.msdn.com/heaths/archive/2008/05/09/visual-studio-and-net-log-collection-utility.aspx
Then you could attach it to this bug. Hopefully this can help investigation.

The workaround from Vaccanoll, and Allen Zhou worked for me. Installed the two DAC msi's and hte TSQL msi, and it is working just fine again.

Posted by SamL on 1/13/2012 at 4:35 PM

Another workaround if you do not actually care about SQL integration (in my case I specifically did not need or want those components installed) is to delete the package keys:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0_Config\Packages\{068E2583-0872-403B-AF4C-6C2A8F2D8C3E}

Had VS2010 installed then installed sql2008r2 and could not open database sln from TFS after installing R2.

This method worked for me

Install the following three packages from the Visual Studio 2010 installation DVD / CD.

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Data-Tier Application Framework with this command:
\WCU\DAC\DACFramework_enu.msi

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Data-Tier Application Project:
\WCU\DAC\DACProjectSystemSetup_enu.msi

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Transact-SQL Language Service:
\WCU\DAC\TSqlLanguageService_enu.msi

That worked for me~!!!

Posted by WorkAByte on 9/21/2011 at 1:44 PM

Installed SQL Service Pack 2.

Did not have it installed before so i will have to guess and say if its already installed try repairing it or another workaround.

Good Luck!

"I've experienced the same problem and was able to resolve the problem by manually reinstalling or repear 3 tools (DACFramework_enu.msi ,DACProjectSystemSetup_enu.msi ,TSqlLanguageService_enu.msi) in VS Installation CD just under X:\WCU\DAC. You can try it . Good luck!"

When I tried the suggestion above given by Allen it worked. Several others seem to have had success with it, so I thought I would post it as a workaround.

Note that this error seems to occur if you have installed SQL Server 2008 R2
