>.NET Framework installation fails on XP

P

Philip Laird

I have been unable to install .NET Framework on my
computer. The installation always fails from Windows
Update. I downloaded the setup file to my hard drive and
tried a local installation. The following message is
displayed. "Setup cannot access Windows installer
components. Setup cannot continue".

I upgraded to XP Home from 98se.

Hi Philip,

Possibly a problem with the way MSIEXEC is registered. Try the
following steps to resolve this issue:

Click Start, Run, "msiexec /unregsiter" <without the quotation marks>

Click Ok then,

Click Start, Run,msiexec /regserver

Run the install again and it should run successfully.

Good Luck,
