title: How to install Visual Web Developer Express
body: <p>Im trying to install Visual Web Developer Express. I click the <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010-editions/visual-web-developer-express" rel="nofollow">install-button</a> and run the Web Platform Installer which then tell me I have to restart my computer (SQLServer Express R2 requires reboot...). I restart, the installer continues and tells me yet again I have to restart (for the same reason). I restart, and its all over again...</p>
  
  <p>So I googled the problem and found others with the same issue, but none of the presented solutions worked for me. I didnt have this PendingFileRename-key-thingy in the registre.... and I even tried uninstalling all occurances of "SQL Server *" and reinstalled the offline-installation of SQL Server R2 and then tried to Visual Web Dev install again. With the exact same result.</p>
  
  <p>Now Im clueless and very frustraded... How can it be so much problem with this Web Installer? I read about the same problem that where several years old. And its still not solved? Gosh... Ive spent a good deal of a day trying to install this now. Only to be able to install the WP7-SDK in my next step.</p>
  
  <p>Anyon else having this problem?</p>
  
  <p>Is there any offline/redist install of Visual Web Developer Express? (cant find any)</p>
