My question relates very closely to this question:How do I bypass Visual Studio 2005 SP1 failing to install on Windows 7?
However this question hasn't provided the answer I'm looking for.I'm trying to install Visual Studio 2005 onto a clean Windows 7 (64 bit) box. However I keep getting the following error when the 'Microsoft Visual Studio 2005' component finishes installing ...
Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'policy.8.0.Microsoft.VC80.OpenMP,type='win32-policy',version='8.0.50727.42',publicKeyToken='1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b',processorArchitecture='x86',Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x80073712.
On my first attempt to install VS 2005 I got a warning about compatibility issues. I stopped at this point, downloaded the necessary service packs and restarted the installation from the beginning. Every since then I just get the error message above. I keep rolling back the installation and trying again ... it's but always the same error.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

I'm pretty sure this error message indicates the component store has been corrupted. You could take a look at this article: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=947821

Tips and tricks on upgrading your VS2005 installation to SP1
Introduction
Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 is a significant upgrade that should be installed at your earliest convenience. If you're like me, your friends will report absolutely flawless upgrade experiences while you sit and struggle. This article compiles a list of resources you may need for installation.
Please leave comments below if you have ideas or additional resources and I will incorporate them. I'm not affiliated with Microsoft so this is just from my personal experience.
Prerequisites
- Visual Studio 2005
What's new in SP1
Visual C++ Express
This list is growing. If you have links or information, please provide it in the comments and I'll add it here.
- C# (need link)
- VB.NET (need link)
- ASP.NET (need link)
Installation
- Disable Software Restriction Enforcement
- Click Start -> Control Panel
- Open Administrative Tools
- Open Local Security Settings
- Click Software Restriction Policies
If no software restrictions are defined, right click the Software Restriction Policies node and select New Software Restriction Policy - Double click Enforcement
- Select 'All users except local administrators'
- Click OK
- Reboot the machine
- (Optional) Disable the Patch CacheYou can eliminate 1.3 GB of disk I/O, and cut the installation time significantly, by temporarily disabling the Patch Cache.
- Download the patch.
- Save the following to a batch file in the same directory you saved the SP1 install file:
- Run the batch file
- (Optional) Uninstall Visual C++
The upgrade will apparently run much faster without C++. I haven't tested it, but you may want to consider uninstalling C++ and then reinstalling VC++ Express Edition if the day ever comes that you need C++. - Download Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 and attempt an upgrade. If you're lucky it will work and you don't need the rest of this article. If not, see the list of troubleshooting links at the bottom.
Installation Of Visual Studio 2005 On Windows 7 64
The upgrade may not be easy! SP1 takes anywhere from 20 minutes to 1 hour to install. Ultimately, I had to uninstall Visual Studio 2005, reinstall, then apply the service pack. My VS2005 installation didn't just uninstall either. I had to manually remove files.
Once you finally have it installed, your Help > About dialog in VS2005 should look like this:
