VS 2010 SP1 installation error: Generic Trust Failure
I tried to install VS SP1 from the ISO (not the Web Installer) on a machine and ended up with a non successful install with the following error: Generic Trust Failure.
The log file said:
Possible transient lock. WinVerifyTrust failed with error: 2148204800

Since I didn’t want to download the 1.5GB ISO a second time, I tried the Web installer and this time it worked like a charm. Was the problem with a corrupt download or a file missing a signature I can’t say.
