XP Pro SP2 & .NET Framework 2 install problems

Hi - new to this Forum. I am trying to install .NET 2 (or 3) and it fails repeatedly on install. It always rolls back, but have run Cleanup to remove failures. I am running XP Pro SP2. Windows Update offers to install .NET 3.0, but that flunks out too. Here is the logfile:

Anyone tell why this is happening? I know zip about dll's etc, but MSCOREE seem to get a lot of web hits as (un)popular! I would appreciate any insight. Thanks!

 

Hi euromancan.

You may need to uninstall .NET Framework this way:

Installation of .NET Framework fails and requires manual removal - MS KB 320112

I think v3.0 is only for Vista, so stick with v2.
MS .NET Framework 2 ** Use only IE for this site. **

 

Thanks WinCrazy--I did start with .NET v2, this is when the problems started (v.3 was proposaed by Windows Update as an optional update). There is no .NET installs appearing in the Registry, so it looks as if either rollback install worked, or the Cleanup I ran were all good.

The problem seems to be related to the Installer, specifically in the ErrorLog, where it fails when trying to MSCOREE version:

So, I am at a loss--the only reason I am trying to install this is to get access to an account I created that requires it to up- and download data.

Thanks anyway!

You can try 2 things:

- Uninstall and then reinstall the Windows Installer
Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs > check off Show updates checkbox at top of window
You will see an entry "Windows Installer 3.1 (KB893803) - uninstall it.
Reinstall WI 3.1

- Troubleshoot the installation process
Windows Installer Troubleshooting
Try the Cleanup procedure.

 

.NEt 2.0 Got it!

Thanks WinCrazy - all is right in the world now. Re-ran Cleanup and uninstalled/reinstalled "Installer ". It runs, and the .NET is on line. Great!

thanks!
