Failed Installation of .NET Framework

[Alexander Volodarskiy]

I'm currently running WinXP Pro SP2, and I wanted to install the .NET
Framework for WinXP. Whenever I try to install .NET Framework from the
windows update site, the installation fails. Alternatively, I've tried
downloading the installation file from Microsoft's website and installing
that way. When I run that installation, the installation goes almost until
the very end, when I get the following error message:

Error 1937.An error occurred during the installation of assembly
'System.Design,Version="1.0.5000.0",PublicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a",Culture="neutral",FileVersion="1.1.4322.573'".
The signature or catalog could no be verified or is not valid. HRESULT:
0x80131045

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Alex

Sounds like maybe the installer wants to connect to an MS domain to
authenticate something and it's not working? Since this is SP2 maybe it's
being blocked by the firewall.

My windows firewall is off. I tried disabling both the Norton Antivirus 2005
Internet Worm Protection and AutoProtect , but the result is still the same.

Try downloading the .Net Redistributable Package directly from the MS
downloads site.

It is the redistributable package that gives me the error message I wrote
down below. Windows update just says installation failed.

I can share my experience on failed installation of .NET framework
redistributable. I got the same error as you described below. I found
out
that SSH daemon (I have Cygwin installed) was interfering my install
(authentication was not successful, probably). After I stopped the
daemon
the .NET framework installation was successful.
I hope it help somehow (at least some directions to the problem).
