.NET install on W98 fails registering enterpriseservices.dll
-
I am trying to install .NET1.1 on Windows 98, a task which I have done quite succesfully before. This time however it fails right at the end when registering enterpriseservices.dll. A message is displayed that Regsvcs has "performed an illegal operation", and the whole installation rolls back. I have tried updating the windows installer, and running the Installation Cleanup Utility, and deleting the windows\Microsoft .net\framework folders, all to no avail. This is a brand new W98SE installation with nothing on it but VNC and ZoneAlarm. I have found several messages on the web from people who have had this problem, but not one that satisfactorily cures it. Any suggestions would be welcome. Dave

Have you installed all available patches on the Win98 box? How about MDAC 2.6, Internet Explorer 5.01, Windows Installer 2.0 and all their patches? RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

I have the latest version of the Installer (as stated), IE is at V6, MDAC at 2.81, and I've done a full Windows Update scan. Dave

Not a clue. And it doesn't look like anyone else has one either. There is a hotfix for the System.EnterpriseServices.dll (and the Thunk that goes with it), but it will only fix certain problems AFTER installation of the .NET Framework, not before. About the only thing I could even remotely suggest is to wait for .NET 1.1 SP2. But that doesn't help you now... I'd try it on a new installation of Win98, but without installing anything else. Not even ZoneAlarm... RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

By the way, did I mention that the processor is a 486. Is it possible that this is the cause of the problem? Dave

Well, the minimum is either a Pentium 90MHz, or the minimum for the O/S, whichever is higher. I don't think a 486 qualifies... RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

I guess that's the problem then. Odd way to manifest itself, but there we are. Thanks for your help. Dave
