You probably noticed it, my blog was down for several hours due to a failure in the database server. Well, in the meantime, the Visual C++ Team released an updated VC++ feature pack which fixes the installer problems and several others. Unfortunately, VC++ asks for my installation medium during the feature pack uninstall, so be sure to have it handy.
