Hi,

I upgraded from ME to XP Pro and am trying to install
VS .Net. I keep getting an error message "Setup cannot
access windows installer components..." and the install
won't proceed.

I've also updated windows installer to v2.0. If anyone
has any fixes or workarounds pls. let me know?

Thanks,
Alwyn.
 
Hi Alwyn,

Try entering the following commands and test:

msiexec /unregsiter

then,

msiexec /regserver

Thanks Ken. It worked perfectly. Saved me a lot of time.
My next option was to uninstall and do a full install.

On a related topic, how do I set the installer to
install .NET to my D:\ drive instead of C:\? I'm running
out of disk space and seems like somewhere along the way
the drive letter was set.

Thanks,
Alwyn.
