Windows – Unable to install visual studio 2012 on windows 7

visual studio 2012windows 7

I was attempting to install Visual Studio 2012 Express Version on windows 7, but got the following error.

enter image description here

The error talks about some Interop Assem, which I believe is related to Microsoft Office. I tried to install the Interop Assem, but it seems that they cannot be installed for Starter Versions of the Microsoft Office.

So, how do I go about installing Visual Studio 2012 on my Windows 7 machine, without full version of Microsoft Office installed, Or the error is related to something else.

Update:

I have tried to install the following

Interop Assem

but the installation terminates without any status.

Best Answer

I was trying to install from iso image and getting all kinds of different errors. I am not sure what was wrong, but when I tried to install online, the installation was smooth without any errors. I don't know whether this is an answer to the original question, but since the online installer worked, I would rather close this question.

Please note that Service Pack 1 is a requirement for installing VS2012 on Windows 7
