Enterprise Instrumentation Framework Installlation Problems

[Guest]

Hi,

I am trying to install Enterprise Instrumentation Framework (EIF) on my
Windows Vista machine. However, the installation always fails and is rolled
back. Here is the error message I receive:

"There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as
part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel
or package vendor."

Can anyone help me fix this issue? Have you encountered this before?

Thanks very much in advance
Markus

Hi Carey,

thanks. I had read the Download Center page for EIF carefully. According to
various sources (including Microsoft), EIF should install without problems on
Windows Vista even if Vista may not be listed as a supported operating
system. The error message I quoted is very common, regardless of the Windows
version. It looks like the message comes up when EIF is installed on a
machine where .NET Framework 1.0 and .NET Framework 1.1 are installed in
parallel (this is also documented in the Readme.htm for EIF:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/b/4/eb4fa948-f1c9-4cd1-9f93-2f259da7de98/readme.htm).

So let's leave Windows Vista aside for a moment. Do you know of a way to
troubleshoot this issue on a Windows XP or Windows 2000 machine? Would
uninstalling .NET Framework 1.0 help? And how can I uninstall .NET Framework
1.0 if it is not listed in Control Panel > Software?

Thanks very much for your help.
