Visual studio sp1 error: RiaServices.msi is unavailable - silverlight-4.0

I'm have been trying to install the sp1 for visual studio 2010. I have first downloaded vm_web and Silverlight4_Tools, both of which seemed to install fine.
I tried to open VS2010 and got the error,
Only some of the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 products on this computer have been upgraded to Service Pack 1. None will work correctly until all have been upgraded.
Then it shows a prompt to download and install SP1.
I downloaded this file, ran the installer and solved the issue with finding the silverlight_sdk.msi file.
I cannot however resolve the issue with the RiaSerivices.msi file. I have trawled the net (apparently a common error) and tried
1) to download RiaServices.msi seperately and point to the file in the downloads folder.
2) I have also tried to move the RiaServices.msi file to the installation folder (in my case C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Temp\Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1_10.0.40219) as was suggested in another question
Still not working. The error I get is,
The file 'file path...' is not a valid installation package for the product WCF RIA Services V1.0 SP1. Try to find the installation package 'RiaServices.msi' in a folder from which you can install WCF RIA Services V1.0 SP1.
Any ideas?

Try to download Ria services from here
Setup will be completed.
I was also facing same issue but by downloading Ria services from this location problem is resolved.

Faced with the same problem. I went from a situation like that.
I've installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1_10.0.40219 from disk f, and I asked the installer RiaServices.msi presence in the temporary folder C: \ Users \ user1 \ AppData \ Local \ Temp \ Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1_10.0.40219. But I noticed that the disk was created f temporary folder. And here's where I put him RiaServices.msi. And the installer earned as needed. Maybe this will help to someone. From SW. marina

For future Googlers: I had the same issue, but with vstor40_x64.msi. This MS fix-it solved it for me. I was pulling my hair out for a couple days so I want to save some pain for anyone else unfortunate enough to be stuck with VS2010 for legacy systems!
Choose the option "I'm having trouble installing a program" and pick whichever component it's tripping on--in my case VS 2010 Tools for Office Runtime, in your case Ria Services. Then SP1 should succeed. You may need to repeat for other partially-installed components.

Unable to start program "C:\Program Files\dotnet\dotnet.exe"

I've installed .NET Core 1.0.1 to use with VS 2015 Update 3 and I'm running as Administrator (on Windows 8.1 x64).
If I create any .NET Core project, be it console or web and attempt to run it Visual Studio then comes up with an error:
However I'm unable to ascertain why. VS builds it fine and I can run it from the CLI. I can also run Core fine through VSCode.
I've tried:
Deleting project.lock.json
Deleting the .vs folder
Repairing the .NET Core install
Repairing the VS 2015 install
Uninstalling and reinstalling .NET Core/SDK/Tooling & VS
Rebooting
And it still refuses to work!
I've raised this on the Core Tooling GitHub as well as can be seen here but as yet we're all a little stumped.
There are some people who have problems with Internet Explorer and Visual Studio.
Attempt to install Internet Explorer 9, or set a different default browser.
Other approaches:
Was the data path checked?
Perhaps there are wrong configured environment variables?
Are you sure that the configuration was reset by the installation?
Perhaps the path for the temporary data has been changed?
Try re-installing needed redistributables, as they are needed for executing .Net Core on Windows, as it is stated here :
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/articles/core/windows-prerequisites
"NET Core requires the VC++ Redistributable when running on Windows"
If it don't work, add a try/catch at the highest level of your application and log all System.Exceptions that may occur. It may give you more informations about this error.
This error occurs if you change the name of the project. To work around this error You will have to delete all files under \object and \bin folders. After that rebuild application.
Restart the visual studio in administrator mode. This solved my problem.

VS2015: The components for communicating with FTP servers are not installed

I have been using Visual Studio 2010 Pro for my vb.net desktop application development. I publish the apps via clickonce to a web server with ftp. My settings look like this:
Publishing folder location: ftp://www.webaddress.com/folder/
Installation folder : http://webaddress.com/folder/
This works perfect in VS2010.
I am now trying to upgrade to Visual Studio 2015 community edition. When I try to publish my app, I get the error "The components for communicating with FTP servers are not installed". I am getting this error on both computers I have installed VS2015 on.
Strangely enough, there isn't much info on this error. The only solution I've seen is to repair the installation. I did this but still a no go.. Another cause I read about is having Xamarin installed, but I have never had that installed.
Has anybody run into this and know what the fix is??
EDIT:
It appears to not actually have anything to do with installed components. After I posted this question, I realized the publish via FTP had worked earlier on a little sample Hello World project i made (brain fart). It was only once I loaded my existing project that this error started showing up.
I closed the solution, created another simple project, and still got the error. I closed visual studio, reopened the sample project, and ftp worked! I then opened my existing project and ftp worked there too?! So I don't know what the trigger is, and I haven't had it fail again yet, but maybe this info will help figure out what is causing the failure.
EDIT (3/30/2017)
Just an update - I am still having this issue. This issue happens on visual studio 2013, 2015, and 2017. I have tried reinstalling the c++ redistributable, still nothing. It seems others are having this issue with a web project but mine is a desktop app publishing with clickonce via FTP. It must be something to do with solution I am working on that was originally created in 2010, as the issue is not present in any other project.
I had the same issue with Visual Studio 2017. What fixed it for me was to start the Visual Studio Installer and install the ".NET Core cross-platform development" workload.
I had the same issue in Visual Studio 2015 / Update 3. It was resolved after installing the 32-bit version of Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784)
See also https://github.com/aspnet/Tooling/issues/748
I had the same problem with Visual Studio 2015. And Publish used to work fine so I went going crazy looking for and trying different solutions. Then I read on another thread of doing a Setup-> Repair (submitted by Erikest). I did a Setup->Repair and the publish process now works! I think it's also possible that the Repair not only did the trick on the FTP components but also replaced the C++ redistributable (often mentioned as a solution to this problem),
This is a total work around, but I've noticed I get this error every time I open my app (that originated in VS2010) and try to publish without first opening a sample app. I created a new project and published it to my FTP server. When I receive this error, I close Visual studio, reopen and the open the sample project, publish that app, then open my real app. The publish then works.
This works every time, and seems to be a bug in Visual studio, and probably has something to do with the fact that my app was originally built in 2010.
Maybe this will help somebody else with the same issue. It's a big pain so hopefully MS gets a fix in for this.
I have been banging my head against this problem for many months, re-installed VS over and over and just did a clean install of Windows 10 in the hope it would work but to no avail. By chance I cleaned some old .accdb files from the App_Data folder that I no longer need since I converted to SQL Server database and FTP publishing now works.
So it seems VS does not like the .accdb files but was happy with .mdb files when publishing with FTP.
As soon as I put the file back in App_Data the problem returns. Hope this is some help.
I had the same issue here, I was using the Publish right click option on the project, which had been working fine. What fixed it for me was going back through the publish options and re-testing the connection. Publish seemed to work after that. Maybe it forgot a password or settings?
I also installed the x86 C++ Redistribution Package.
Hope this helps someone who is in the same boat.
After many successful website publishes with Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition, we experienced the "components for communicating with ftp servers are not installed" issue. :(
First attempt at resolution was uninstalling VS Community 2015, then installing VS Community 2017. Received the same error: "components for communicating with ftp servers are not installed" when attempting to publish our business website.
With some work, we found that by uninstalling Microsoft Web Deploy and re-installing, this seemed to fix the problem. We can now use Visual Studio > Publish function to our ftp without problems.
See this link for download of Microsoft Web Deploy components.

Dont know what broke this VS IDE functionality, but hope this fix helps some.
I encountered the same error with Visual Studio 2019
I fixed it by using the Visual Studio Installer to install the Web Deploy (inc .netcore 2.1) under individual components
I just did a simple "repair installation" in the installer. Worked for me.
I am using Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019 and had this problem for a while.
The problem went away after I updated about 10 NuGet updates that were over due.
I had the same problem, I closed all the open windows I closed Visual Studio and then I opened again and published and then it worked!

How can I install Office Interop Assemblies for VS2015 after a Win 10 clean install?

I have a Win10 clean install with VS2015 installed. I have Office 2010 for Home and Student. My VB.NET app's msi file was built in 2011 on a machine with Office 2000 installed, and it still works now to install my app in Win10. The installed app exports data to Excel and that still works.
Now I want to update the app with VS2015, but I get build errors, e.g.: Type 'Excel.Workbook' is not defined. I found out that I should load the Office Interop Assemblies.
I downloaded and ran o2010pia.msi, but nothing showed up in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Visual Studio Tools for Office" where I think they should live. Possibly the installation code is not yet recognizing VS2015 as Visual Studio 14.0?
In searching for answers, I found references to "PIAs in the GAC" and "reference a local copy of the PIAs in your source control tree". But I don't know what these mean!
How can I fix this?
I also missing Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.dll after installing Win10.
I find it in
"C:\Windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel\15.0.0.0__71e9bce111e9429c".
Maybe you can search it in C:\Windows\assembly.
I found a solution to my problem. I had spent days googling around for answers about missing PIAs and error messages about .NET 3.5 not found. I tried many suggested workarounds, but none worked for me. But...
Because I have ReSharper from JetBrains installed, I stumbled upon this from a left-click on my project folder which shows a context menu with this link: "Optimize References..."
So as an experiment, I clicked it. It ran and did whatever it does (besides reporting). I did nothing! Now my project builds, runs, and automates Office Excel just like it did before my Windows 10 and VS2015 upgrade.
Here's a reference: http://blog.jetbrains.com/dotnet/2012/01/03/optimizing-assembly-references-with-resharper-61/. Hope this helps somebody.
Just had the same issue after an upgrade from Windows 7 to 10. I resolved it by bringing up the references, writing down the path to the Microsoft.Office.Interopt.Excel.dll, removing the reference, re-adding it, then rebuilding the project.

Can't open project in Visual Studio 2013 Express - Framework issue

So I have a program I've been making in VB for my company through Visual Studio 2013 Express for Desktop and have not worked on it in a couple of months. When I try to open it, I get the following error:
"The VB project "WindowsApplication1" is targeting ".NETFramework,Version=4.5" which is not installed on this machine."
http://imageshack.com/a/img661/6001/DGAfuk.png
I have all of the .NET frameworks installed including all developer and service packs (even language packs). I uninstalled all .NET frameworks and re-installed each of them without any resolution.
I tried to re-install Visual Studio and even tried changing the Framework (one of the options I have) but I cannot view any code or open designer view if I do so. (http://imageshack.com/a/img633/2109/OJaXbr.png)
The strange thing is this computer is the same one I have been developing this application on for months, so I'm not sure what happened over the last 60 days since I launched it.
Does anyone have any clues as to how I can resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Matt
The path to your project must be Les then 256 Character.
That can be the reason of it.
Make sure the path is short "Copy the project to your c drive "C:\ProjectFolder" and try again".

SignTool.exe Missing Visual Basic 2008

When I try to publish a project, the error shows:
Error 2. SignTool.exe Missing.
I searched on my computer for SignTool.exe, the file doesn't exist.
I installed the Windows SDK, that didnt work, the file still doesn't exist. Then I installed the .Net framework, Silverlight, then reinstalled the whole Microsoft Visual Basic.
The file still doesn't exist.
Where can i download SignTool.exe?
signtool.exe is part of the .NET SDK. You'll need to download that, which will install it into the proper location.
You should be able to find the .NET SDK with a search on MSDN. There's no point in posting a link here, because they change over time or as new versions are released. (You can also find it by searching Google for "dot net sdk", which returns many different links to the Microsoft pages.)
I had the same issue but installing the Windows SDK did not work for me (signtool.exe was still missing from my machine).
I stumbled across this solution: http://www.benedykt.net/2015/08/12/missing-signtool-exe-w-visual-studio-2015/
Basically:
Open Programs and Features
Select 'Microsoft Visual Studio [version]' and click Change
And select 'ClickOnce Publishing Tools' for installation
