MS.net Framework 1.1 Service pack 1

Hi All.

I have a problem installing MS .net Framework 1.1 Service pack 1.

It downloads ok, but when it starts installing I get errors.

It tells me:
SL128.temp has encountered a problem and needs to close. If you where in the middle "¦â€¦â€¦â€¦â€¦â€¦ so I close the dialog box and try again. This time the SL5C.tmp has a problem. So I try again and this time the SL58.tmp has the problem. After that SL87.tmp has the problem.
Anyone know what is going on and how can I fix this?
Thanks
Sven

 

SVEN--Can you locate these .temp files on your PC? If so, where? Does the folder have a name? If they are all together, you could try disabling them by putting them in the RecycleBin (but do not delete). Then see if the installation of NetFramework will proceed. You can always Restore the .temp files from the RecycleBin if that does not help. Or you can reboot, see if the .temp files are still on the harddrive and try to delete them using DiskCleanUp. (click My Computer|right click on C:\|Properties\General tab|DiskCleanup. Wait for the scan, uncheck any boxes whose content you do not want to clean, but leave the check in Temp Files|OK.

How to fix .NET Framework install errors that ask for tmpXXXX.tmp

I have heard from several customers who have had problems trying to repair the .NET Framework or install a .NET Framework service pack and saw an error dialog asking for the source location for tmpXXXX.tmp. I wanted to try to explain why this can happen and also describe a way that I normally recommend to fix this issue.

Why does this happen?

The .NET Framework hotfix setup wrapper creates patch files on the fly in the %temp% directory that are named tmpXXXX.tmp (where XXXX is a randomly generated ending), and then deletes the file after applying the patch. When attempting to install any .NET Framework hotfix or repair the .NET Framework, Windows Installer will perform a component health check. If any of the components installed as part of the patch have been damaged/deleted, Windows Installer will trigger a repair and search for the files in the original install location. In this case, the original install location does not exist because it was deleted from %temp%.

How can I workaround this?

• Download the .NET Framework cleanup tool: http://astebner.sts.winisp.net/Tools/dotnetfx_cleanup_tool.zip
• Extract the contents by running cleanup_tool.exe /t:c:\temp /c (or some other local folder of your choosing in place of c:\temp)
• Open a cmd prompt and run c:\temp\msizap.exe TP {CB2F7EDD-9D1F-43C1-90FC-4F52EAE172A1} (this is the product code for the .NET Framework 1.1 MSI package)
• Run c:\temp\cleanup.exe and choose to clean up the .NET Framework 1.1 one more time
• Download and re-install .NET Framework 1.1: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...E3-F589-4842-8157-034D1E7CF3A3&displaylang=en
• Download and install .NET Framework 1.1 SP1: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...4f-088e-40b2-bbdb-a83353618b38&displaylang=en

 

SVEN--I think Bill Castner has proposed the right procedure.
But in case it does not work, you might look here

Regrets that I did not thoroughly research this before posting.

 

Bill Castner, Welshjim,

Thanks for your help.
I downloaded the clean up tool and ran it. After that I went back to the MS update site and now it offers me 1.1 and 2.0 as an upgrade, but only as an optional upgrade.
Q: why do I need the 2 .net at all if it is optional?
Any drawbacks if I don’t download them?
It tells me that the doanload will take aprox. 1 hour each.
Thanks
Sven

 

If you run a program that needs 2.0 (or 3 or 4) it will tell you so.
Only then upgrade.

This should be your attitude to nearly all Optional downloads from Windows Update, unless there is a feature your really would like.

But remember: Friends do not let Friends update Device Drivers from Windows Update.

 

that is what I will do, or not do, depending on need.

Thank you
Sven
