am trying to install SCSM 2010 Authoring tool on my Laptop " Windows 7 Enterprrise 64 Bit " however am getting error message indicates that i should have VS Shell 2008 SP1 .

i installed the required software and restarted my machine but am getting the same error message every time.

I had this issue a minute ago as well. But on my computer the SCSM 2010 Authoring Tool was installed already together with the VB Shell 2008 SP1. I deinstalled the SCSM 2010 Authoring Tool and the VB Shell 2008 SP1. If the Prerequisite Check and the Info VB Shell 2008 Sp1 is missing I clicked on "Install ..." in the setup wizard. After the installation finished I did a prereq check again and it is working now.&n

That is what I did , i clicked on Install and the inistallatin wizard appeard and finished successfully. and still the same issue

I've had this error many times and I'm not really sure what's causing it (thought it might be Visual Studio 2010).

To get around it, locate the Authoring_PrerequisiteInputFile.xml in the installation media for the Authoring tool and delete the section about checking for Visual Studio Shell 2008.

Save the file and re-run the setup.

Thank you very much , it worked and i can now use Authoring tool

You sir are a genius :) thanks!

Thank you.

its works.

I encountered this with the 2012 SP1 authoring tool installation on Windows 8 Pro x64. The removal of the prereq check entry did work, but I'm hoping Microsoft can fix this for the next release of the installer.
