14                            CustomAction """sp598ent.dll"", ""GetPathFromReg"", ""HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\6.0\Setup,VSCommonDir"" "                                      %d\Common

Save it. Now, you can keep to install Service Pack 5 and then you could find out it is working correctly.

Exception

  1. If you find out the install program no responsibility when it searched to install component. Don’t worry. It is correctly. Because your hard disk size is bigger than before and then it needs more time to find out that had been installed component. You just wait for it to search finish.
  2. You could download it from https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzHb_OyLyVZlZ0dMcnJoa0VHdVk/view?usp=sharing .
