1317 Error when trying to reinstall .Net Framework

[Craig]

Hi, I've posted this message in another thread, but it appears to have
stumped the folks overseeing that one. So I am appealing to anyone who can
help.

I've been having problems with my McAfee virus protection and firewall...
they don't work... OUCH. The problems have been traced to MSXML and .Net
Framework. Both have ceased responding.

Some real good links were given to me previously and I followed the ones I
could comprehend. But they have led me to an extension of my problem which is
where I'm stumped.

After identifying the .NET Framework installs I had and then using a removal
tool recommended by one of the links I attempted to reinstall the same
versions of the .NET Framework and ran into this problem:

When I try to install dotnetfx.exe as administrator in safe mode it starts
just fine but then after extraction states that Microsoft .NET Network Setup
Failed. Consult Product Support.

When I try to install it with my user account, which has full permissions
for Program Files, I get the error message:

Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Setup

Error 1317. An error occurred while attempting to create the directory:
E:\Program Files\Internet Explorer

I don't know why they are trying to create a new IE folder, one already
exists.
I tried changing the name of the IE folder but got the same message.

Would someone PLEASE help? Or is this a problem that you can't figure you?

Thanks.

Hi, I've posted this message in another thread, but it appears to have
stumped the folks overseeing that one. So I am appealing to anyone who can
help because for whatever reason that thread has gone dead.

Again, thank you very, very much in advance to anyone kind enough to assist
us with this terrible problem that has caused our entire McAfee to cease
functioning. We all know how important our virus protection and firewall is.

Well 99% of youre problem is due to mcafee software...Either way,if you
ran the .NET uninstaller tool,you also need to type in run:Microsoft.NET
in the new window,locate the .NET folder & delete it,exit when thru,return to
run,type:temp In new window,edit select all delete all,exit.Return to
run,type:
CLEANMGR Run disk clean up,restart pc.Back in xp,run,type:msiexec
/unregister
Return to run,type:msiexec /regserver Retry .NET install.

First and foremost get rid of McAfee Not very compatible. Secondly read the following

Hi Andrew, thank you so much for responding.

I tried the cleanup and the msiexec suggestions you gave me. I believe I
entered them correctly with a space between the c and forward slash as well
as deeting the Network folder, however upon attempting to install
dotnetfx.exe I once again received the error:

Error 1317. An error occurred while attempting to create the directory:
E:\Program Files\Internet Explorer

Again, I don't know what that means as that folder already exists.

When I try to install as Administrator I get the message:

"The administrator has set policies to prevent this installation"

My regular user account IS the one which set up the PC in the first place.

What am I doing wrong?

I'm using XP home.

I've had that McAfee for a long time now. I got it with my MSN so I figured
it was fine.

I tried the tool that was in the article that Peter mentioned, but there is
no longer any .NET files to extract. I'm just stuck on the reinstall.

This is really frustrating.

Thanks again for trying to help.

Hi Peter,

Thank you for responding.

I read the article and believe I understood most of it fairly well. The main
thing I got from it that related to the 1317 error I'm dealing with is the
removal too.

The thing is that we have already used a Microsoft cleanup tool and there
are no .NET files to remove.

I mentioned that where I'm at now is that when I attempt to install as
Administrator in safe mode I get a message:

The administrator has set policies against this installation.

When I try to install with my user name that originally set up Windows I get
the 1317 error regarding not being able to create the Internet Explorer
folder in program files.

I am so stuck.

What am I missing?

Thanks again for helping.

Craig

SteadyState?

Hi Craig

I get the same 'The administrator has set policies against this installation.' trying to install Diskeeper... This was no problem, before I set up my PC from scratch. The only new thing I've installed is "MS Steady State". Do you have -by any chance - the same thing running?
