Setup cannot access Windows Installer Components.

[Sherry]

I'm having a problem installing Microsoft .NET framework
1.1 on Windows XP Pro. I'm getting the message:
Setup cannot access Windows Installer components. Setup
cannot continue. Does anyone know where you can download
a copy of Windows Installer for XP from?
