I too am having this problem … just found this article after nearly two days of searching for the problem. I originally thought it was related to my recent installation of VS2010 (about the same time as Office 2010). I uninstalled VS2010 … uninstalled VS2008 — same problem existed.

Very glad to find this article. I installed the release of Office 2010 and and this issue (not RC) so as more people install Office 2010 I’d imagine this issue will be more common.

I’ve been running for about 15 minutes without it locking up — so I think it’s working for me too.

Same problem exists with the release of Office 2010. This issue was driving me crazy and thankfully I found this fix. Worked like a charm!

Thanks!!!

Great thanks! I was running into the same issue for a few days, but I had no clue what caused it (I did not link it to me installing Office 2010 rtm a few days ago). :)

I hope that this post climbs Google ranking, it’s very useful! Microsoft hasn’t write about this bug.

I got the same problem after installing Office 2010 RTM (uninstalled 2007 32-bit and installed 2010 64-bit).

After reading your post I decided to try first by starting Visual Studio as administrator. Maybe that spawned setup.exe didn’t have the necessary rights, but that didn’t seem to be it. No visible response, setup.exe just sitting there in task manager without any sign of activity.

Then tried your solution, and that fixed it. Thanks.

It could be I just didn’t wait long enough for it to finish the first time, the repair process did take a while.
