Just upgraded my Visual Studio 2017 to version 15.7.5, Then got latest SSDT-BI standalone installer.

However running that installer failed (the installer displayed the message, "Setup Failed, unknown error") and totally borked my VS installation. Only remedy was to install a stand-alone version of VS using the download.

Any ideas/fixes?

Key section of log:

Error 0x80131509: Process returned error: 0x80131509 Error 0x80131509: Failed to execute EXE package. Error 0x80131509: Failed to configure per-machine EXE package. MainViewModel.OnPackageAction: Install Completed for package SQL Server Analysis Services (id: Applied execute package: Microsoft.DataTools.AnalysisServices, result: 0x80131509, restart: None Error 0x80131509: Failed to execute EXE package.

I can't post the whole log from work (firewall restrictions).

  • How did you know that the installation failed? Was there maybe some error message that you forgot to mention? Maybe a conflict with some C++ 2015 redistributable? Give us a hint. – Wolfgang Kais Jul 17 '18 at 20:54
  • I know because at the end of the setup, it displayed the message: "Setup Failed, unknown error." Also because the to-be-installed components were not installed. Tried it again after a reboot. Same result. – user1443098 Jul 18 '18 at 01:24
  • I don't believe that "unknown error" was the only information. If it was, then I have no idea. – Wolfgang Kais Jul 18 '18 at 18:31
  • The install also produced a log file, which was not helpful either. – user1443098 Jul 18 '18 at 19:06
  • I can post the whole log file. Maybe you'll see something I missed. Take me a little while, but I'll post it asap. – user1443098 Jul 18 '18 at 21:02
  • Did you research on the internet? Have you found [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46421619/ssdt-installation-issue-failed-to-execute-exe-package)? – Wolfgang Kais Jul 19 '18 at 21:16
  • Yup. first place I went to! The link you posted predates the release with the problem. I had previously, successfully, installed VS and SSDT-BI. It is only after the latest update that the problem surfaced. – user1443098 Jul 20 '18 at 15:04
  • I suppose that it's a development machine and you have installed SSMS too. I had a similar problem that I solved uninstalling SSMS (and other components, C++ Resdistributables that were mentionned in the log), installing SSDT, then re-installing SSMS (and repairing VS). – Wolfgang Kais Jul 20 '18 at 15:56
  • Yeah, hoping to avoid that (lose a couple of hours) but there may be no other way – user1443098 Jul 20 '18 at 16:14
  • Got it! Had to extract the files as per your link, then install only SSIS. Maybe brave enough to test the others. – user1443098 Jul 20 '18 at 16:17
  • Glad to hear that! :-) – Wolfgang Kais Jul 20 '18 at 16:19
