SQL Server 2010 Express SP1 full install OR SQL Server 2010 Managements studio Express install After VS 2010

 

Invoke or BeginInvoke cannot be called on a control until the window handle has been created.

Hello all,

I had this nasty thing that came in my way when trying out SP1 for SQK 2k8 after VS 2010 install in Win 2k8 or Win7

Here are the steps

1. Start the install.

2. Let the UAC prompt come up and then say yes.

3. Install will start. Keep clicking next ok etc..the goal is to get to the Error dialog box

4. Once you get the error dialog, stop and do not click “OK”.  Instead go to c:"{GUID} and then copy the folder to some location. If you click ok the temp folder will be cleaned up

5. Run the setup from this folder. For Win2k8, “Run as Administrator”

6. There are some more solutions given here but this worked for me 99% of the time
