.NET Framework 2.0 Beta Install

[Guest]

Hi,
I'm going crazy trying to get the .NET Framework 2.0 Beta installed. I'm
having trouble on some workstations in my office and not on others. Here are
the last few lines of VSSWMSISummary.txt created as my install failed. I
have copies of other log files as well.

....

Property(S): OutOfNoRbDiskSpace = 0

Property(S): PrimaryVolumeSpaceRequired = 0
Property(S): PrimaryVolumeSpaceRemaining = 0
Property(S): ProductToBeRegistered = 1

Any ideas on what's stopping me from moving forward with this? Thanks in
advance.

I don't want to sound ugly but, why are you installing a BETA of the
framework on your office workstations? I would be hesitant to deploy any
application to several systems unless you are trying to setup for several
developers to TEST .NET Framework Beta 2.0. I wish I could offer you some
advice or help on your problem, but, I have only installed the beta on a
single, test machine and have not encountered the problem you describe.
I would not yet trust it to more than that. Besides, things could change
from Beta2 to final code to the point that whatever application you are
developing will not run properly without a complete rebuild with the release
builds of the Framework and VS2005. Good luck on finding and fixing the
problem.

James,
Thanks for your reply (I think). I AM trying to get a developer workstation
going and when I had trouble installing on the first machine, I went to a
second. I have also had successful installations of the beta on other
workstations without incident. My hope was that someone here could provide
some assistance based on the log files I've created. Thank you anyway.

Sorry John. Here is a link to the Visual Studio 2005 Beta newsgroups. I
think you will have better luck getting your questions answered there.

I would funnel the discussion to the 2.0 groups:
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=whidbey&slcid=us.

What version of .NET 2.0 are you attempting to install? The July beta 1 bits
or the October CTP preview? Or, some other build? The version may be
important to the cure.

It is also quite possible there is another error message, further up the
tree.

This also might, or might not, help:
