.net 2.0 installtion problem
-
I am trying to install .net 2.0 framework on my xp sp2, but the installtion asks for the windows installer 3.0 which is already included in xp sp2, however i downloaded windows installer 3.0 and tried to install it but it failed because sp2 is already there. Did anyone have similar problem like this? Currently I have .net 1.1 and vs2003 in my computer, do i have to uninstall it before install .net 2.0? Thank you in advance.

You might want to try installing Windows Installer 3.1[^]. No, you don't have to uninstall .NET 1.1 first. All versions of the .NET Framework are designed to coexist without any issues.

You said it failed "because SP2 is already there". What makes you say that? The SP of XP doesn't matter with the installation of the .NET Framework 2.0.

Make sure that you have all of the necessary updates from Windows Update. This should give you all of the prerequirements that you need to install the framework. If you still can't install it after this, post the exact error message you're receiving. That would be most helpful for us.

2006, 2007when i try to install windows installer 3.0 it says "Setup has detected that the service pack version of this system is newer than the update you are applying. there is no need to install this update". But i guess the windows installer 3.0 doesnt know I need it for .net 2.0.

thank you vega, the exact error message is "prerequisite programs are missing, setup has detected that the following prerequisite programs are not installed: Microsoft Windows Installer 3.0". The problem is that windows installer 3.0 wont allow me to install it. What should I do, I have tried with my spare pc which is windows server 2000, it installed perfectly.

OK. I misunderstood which installation was giving you that message. Hmmm...

I uninstalled windows installer 3.1 then .net is able to install. Its so wierd, but i know it must be something wrong with my windows installer, maybe another small bug from microsoft.
More like a corrupted installation of 3.0.
