Installing .NET 3.5

[Joe]

After building up a new image, we tried to install .NET 3.5 and it
failed. We believe the .NET 2.0 SP1 is what is failing. When we tried
to install just that, we got an error that it couldn't because it was
unable to modify system components. Does anyone have a solution aside
from starting from scratch (which will take two weeks)?

If you figure it out Joe let me know (MO)

This is just a guess, but do you have the folder

C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC_32\System.EnterpriseServices\2.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a

and does it contain:

System.EnterpriseServices.dll
System.EnterpriseServices.Wrapper.dll

Joe,

If you gather more info on the install issue, you may be able to find the root cause.
For instance, take a look at the .Net 3.5. verbose MSI log file (somewhere %temp%\dd_net_framework35_MSI*.txt). There should be the
error and possible cause mentioned.
Also, make sure you've got msxml3.dll library in your image and registered. (known issues with .net 3.5 install)

I have these files in my XPe image, but I don't understand your point.

The root problem with loading .NET 3.5 is the installation of the .NET 2.0
SP1 - please see attached logs. I'm however at a lost to know where to go
from here. Has anyone else been able to install .NET 3.5 on XPE, or am I
blazing a new trail?

Here is an exeprt from the log file 'dd_NET_Framework20_Setup6C05.txt':

MSI (s) (B0:30) [14:01:57:903]: Product: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0
Service Pack 1 - Update '.NET Framework CRT' could not be installed. Error
code 1603. Additional information is available in the log file D:\Temp\Local
Settings\Temp\dd_NET_Framework20_Setup6C05.txt.


P.S.
'dd_dotnetfx35install.txt' & 'dd_NET_Framework20_Setup6C05.txt' is too large
to post. I also could not find the addtional information concerning the
error it speaks about

This guy has the exact same problem as I do:

I have these files in my XPe image, but I don't understand your point.

This folder is a junction instead of a directory, and it may be lost if you
copy a drive (as opposed to making an image of the drive).
See the listing below:


Directory of C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC_32\System.EnterpriseServices

01/30/2008 12:53 PM <DIR> .

I'm not that intelligent .. so I still don't understand what your point is
and how that might help me install .NET 3.5 or more specifically .NET 2.0
SP1 which .NET 3.5 needs.

 

[Smedly Tonker]

Thanks for the links - I'll let you know if they where useful.

Ok - I found the detailed erorr message on why .NET 2.0 SP1 will not install (this is installed by .NET 3.5):

Not sure how to overcome this error - I can't uninstall .NET 2.0

 

[Smedly Tonker]

I found the detailed error message using the information you provided in the first link. This is what it says:


MSI (s) (B0:30) [14:01:57:733]: Product: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1 -- Setup has determined that this version of .NET Framework is part of your operating system and cannot be installed or uninstalled with this setup. Use Windows Update for all future updates to .NET Framework. Setup will now exit.
....
....
Action ended 14:01:57: INSTALL. Return value 3.

So the next question is what is the solution? I can't uninstall .NET 2.0 because it was added as a component as part of the 2007 feature pack and does not show up under uninstall in the control panel.

Try this clean up tool to remove .NET:

You may want to back up your disk image before doing this.
