Re: Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0: x86 (KB928416)


I've been trying to install new framework 3.x for the last month. My
system is XP-Pro fully patched through SP3, quad core, 4 gbyte memory,
lots of disk space.

I've also tried the instructions that said to uninstall all versions of
net and start over. Done that via the uninstaller download tool.

I've got v1, v1.1 v2.0 framework etc all installed and patched just
fine. System is very stable.

I gave up with downloading via the update site and downloaded the v3
redistributable package.

Symptoms are **always** the same. Never change. I start the installer,
it unpacks the files, enters setup and it looks to hang at about 30-40%
through. Fatal system hang, to get back into XP I need to boot into safe
mode and do a system restore. Every time. There don't appear to be any
errors in the log files in my temp directorys.

However the last entry in one of the logs mentions that its messing
with the fonts. After the crash and restore, just opening the font
directory produces a fatal error, either via explorer or by the control
panel.

I found that deleting the fonts that started with global* via a cmd
prompt window cleared that problem.

I've been chasing blogs, tech notes, MSDN articles etc for the last
month. I'm pretty much at my wits end.

Anyone out there have any advice, I'd sure appreciate it.

Thanks
