Re: ServiceModelReg fails in installation of WCF

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Do you/did you have beta WCF software installed on the machine? Clean it out
first.

No, I do not have any beta WCF software installed. I had .Net
framework 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0 installed on my system. I cleaned all the
versions of framework using the clean tool from one ms guy (i suppose,
aaron stebner) Then I reinstalled 2.0 and then tried installing 3.0.
It was while installing 3.0 that I got the error related to
ServiceModelReg.exe in WPF.

=== from log file ===
ServiceModelReg [18:30:07:316]: Installing: Machine.config Section

=================

Are you installing as admin?

Yes, the user account I am using is registed under administrators
group.

Check your machine config or any *.config files to see if it is marked as
read-only.
hmmmm....most of the *.config files on my system are related to .Net
framework or visual studio. and almost none of them was read-only.

Can you install any other package besides WCF and have it work? Ex. card
space or WF
Yes, I can install WF without any problem. It is properly installed
but in case of WCF, the installation goes properly till the end like
file copying etc but at last, "writing registry value ..Services
\CurrentControlSet\MSDTC Bridge 3.0.0\Performance Value=Library
Name=NetFXPerf.dll"
At this step, the system waits for a second or two and after that it
rolls back.
Installation Failed.

==============

I have seen many people coming across this same problem and many got
their problem solved by uninstalling/reinstalling IIS. It did not
solve my problem.
I have installed .Net 2.0 sp1, sp2 also but to no avail.
Cant you find any hint by looking at my log files?????
oh! Is formatting the system the last option? :(

Thanks for your response.
Vivek.

I am trying to install .Net 3.5 on win XP sp2,32 bit x86 processor.
But the process always fails and the error log says installation of
WCF fails. I already have 2.0 and I have tried uninstalling/
reinstalling all .Net frameworks, IIS etc. I have tried installing WCF
alone and the process fails too. I am getting some
UnauthorizedException.
