Troubleshooting SQL Server 2008 R2 installation errors

While installing a copy of SQL Server 2008 R2 developer edition today, I received a failure during install. 

    > Error 1935 <

SQL Server did install, however my development tools (BIDS) did not install…

In researching this error I discovered that there are many reasons, however a common one, that certain DLL’s are missing or corrupt on the target computer.

One suggestion I found, install:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x64)

To be safe, I installed 2005 & 2008:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x64)

SQL Server 2008 R2 was uninstalled, restarted the computer, then reran setup with the same options.

Success!
