Didn’t had my best day yesterday as I was trying to rollout Team Foundation Server 2018 at a customer.
When we tried to start the installation, it failed while installing the .NET Framework 4.7 with a not-so-clear error message “Cannot find object or property”.
Inside the setup log, we found a little more information:

It is clearly a problem with the installation of the .NET Framework and searching for the error code 0x80092004 gave some results.
Unfortunately every solution we found and tried didn’t solve the problem.
To be continued…
