I tried installing Visual Studio 2012 on my Windows 7 x64 PC but it always failed and gives me an error as shown below. This error appears on the final screen of the installation process. So far, I have tried to install for few times but I still end up with the same error message. I don't know what is missing and I also checked if Visual Studio 2012 is compatible with my device. I see no problem in terms of compatibility. Can someone please assist me so I can install VS 2012 correctly. Thanks!

You are getting this error because there is a CAB file that is corrupted that corresponds to the component in the log file. Click the log file on the error itself to see which component is it. To fix this, you need to download the .ISO file of VS 2012 from the MSDN download page.
You can also compute the hash value when comparing on the one listed in VS 2012 download page.
1. Go to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/841290/availability-and-description-of-the-file-checksum-integrity-verifier-u and then download the File Checksum Integrity Verifier utility.
2. Extract it and get the fciv.exe file.
3. Click Start and then run CMD.
4. Run the command below:
<ExtractionPath>fciv.exe -md5 -sha1 <VS2012DownloadPath><VS2012_iso>
Just change the value for the ExtractionPath and the DownloadPath.
If the value that you compute matches, you can start the Visual Studio 2012 setup. A screen will appear:
