I have several people at my organization that cannot install the VMM 2012 R2 console onto their workstations. This is the detail from the last person who tried to.
"When launching setup.exe, the installer would seem to hang. After some digging into the Window’s Application log, I found that it was hanging on Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x64 Redistributable 10.0.40219. However that was already installed on my machine. I did a repair on the C++ x64 installed on my machine and then launched SetupVMM.exe instead of setup.exe. This got me to the point where I could select the VMConsole but then it warned that a restart was pending. If I continued the install it appeared to be stuck with the progress bar scrolling across the screen but it never went any farther."
Other people have gotten the same "restart was pending" message and they have tried restarting their workstation and then tried installing again and the same message always comes up and the install never completes. Why is this happening?
