Re: Need help with .NET Framework and Windows XP 64 bit

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



Hello,

I had a similar problem with .NET, I have 1.0 1.1 2.0 3.0 & 3.5 all on my
system, some of these are dependent on earlier versions to run. Aaron
Stebner, his blogs and his verifier tool were immensely helpful. As I
remember, my problem was with 2.0 but the symptom was as described below.

Hope this helps!

Hi I am trying to install a program which tells me it needs Windows
.NET Framework 3.5. I have downloaded the 64 bit version as I am using
Windows XP 64 bit. When I try to install the .NET software it comes
back with an error saying it is unable to install the software and it
does not say why. I have also had problems trying to remove the .NET
software to enable me to re-install it which is strange as it said it
could not install it.
Any ideas what might be causing these problems.
Thanks

This blog may give you a flavor for some things to look at. It
mentions log files used by the installation.

So somewhere in the blog, you might get a hint.

Another tool I found on his livedrive, is this one.

netfx_setupverifier_new.zip

The fun part, is figuring out where the download link is located.
Click an icon, then look for "download" on the details page.

http://cid-27e6a35d1a492af7.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Blog|_Tools/netfx|_setupverifier|_new.zip

The ZIP has a self extracting file inside. That file includes.

unicows.dll
readme.txt
setupverifier.exe
setupverifier.ini
history.txt
Netfx20TestApplication.exe
Netfx20TestApplication.exe.config

This is a sampling of what is inside setupverifier.ini

many more...

I don't have any .NET on my install here, so cannot test this stuff :-)

HTH,
