Can't Install Asp.net MVC 3 - asp.net-mvc

Question

I tried with both the web install platform and manually but both don't work.
I am trying to first install AspNetMVC3ToolsUpdateSetup.exe yet it always fails with a fatal error

I tried to do the fix here but it is not working for me.
I get a bit further than what you see in the above screenshot as it seems to hit what I think is nuget and then instantly rollbacks. It happens so fast I can't get a good look.
I do have Visual Studios 2010 SP1 installed.

Answer 1

How I got mine to work:
Downloaded and ran the AspNetMVC3ToolsUpdateSetup.exe, let it extract the files but do not accept the license terms and click install
This created the folder C:\temp\ext27692 and within this folder are all the required installation files and configuration used in the installation. If you view the contents of the folder you'll notice there is a nuget.msi installation file. Note, VS on your computer already has the latest version so no need to install this.
Quickly make a copy of the folder C:\temp\ext27692, while execution in point 1 is still running and then click Cancel. This will rollback and delete what it created.
Within the copy of the C:\temp\ext27692 you made in point 3, locate the file parameterinfo.xml and open it using a text editor
Locate the following lines within the opened parameterinfo.xml file and delete them
<MSI CanonicalTargetName="NuGet"

Save the parameterinfo.xml
Within the copy of the C:\temp\ext27692 you made, now locate the file setup.exe and execute it.
This will install MVC3 but not the old version of the NuGet.

Answer 2

You may need to check several options:
Check the control panel for installed versions of MVC framework
Follow the uninstall in descending order like 5-4-3
Try the following order when having nuget errors
Uninstall Nuget
Install MVC
Install latest nuget
NOTE: In addition to ASP.NET MVC3, if you have latest versions of MVC (4,5,6) you should remember to uninstall them by descending order.

Answer 3

Uninstall MVC 4 using Control Panel.
Install MVC 3 using stand-alone installer: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=1491 (AspNetMVC3ToolsUpdateSetup.exe).
Install MVC 4 using Web Platform Installer.
It works for me. I did not touch NuGet.

Answer 4

IF you have also previously installed ASP.NET MVC4, I also had to uninstall Microsoft ASP.NET Web Pages from Control Panel -> Programs.
I then installed using web platform installer, and it all worked!
