Feature Pack does not find my VC++ 2008 installation

Added by:Thomas Lee

The Feature Pack announces, that "none of the affected products are installed", while Visual Studio 2008 Professional with VC++ is installed.

- I get this less than helpful error if I try to run the installer after it has already been installed.

Is it in MSDN 2008 library?

Added by:Thomas Lee

I currently have Visual Studio 2008 Professional and I have the samples included on-disk and for some reason I don't have documentation about the feature on my version of MSDN. Is it documented on the Visual Studio 2008 MSDN download(2GB)?
