Microsoft .NET framework 3.5 SP1 setup failing

I can downlowd the update but there is an error and it fail everytime.
I have used revo uninstaller to remove all previous versions of .NET framework and still no joy.

The error report states
"[06/04/09,17:29:37] Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 'package': [2] Error: Installation failed for component Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 'package'. MSI returned error code 1603
[06/04/09,17:30:02] WapUI: [2] DepCheck indicates Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 'package' is not installed."

Any Ideas please?

 

Found this after googling for a while. There is a dotnetfx cleanup tool (zip) out in this link. http://cid-27e6a35d1a492af7.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Blog_Tools/dotnetfx_cleanup_tool.zip I's supposed to clean out the remnants of .NET Framework. Supposedly a reinstall of .NET Framework 3.5 should be possible after having run the cleanup tool.

Never tried it myself, perhaps someone else can follow this up with you? (Thinking of Halo for instance )

That is truly puzzling, but I had mine burned to a CD and I installed it that way... Maybe you can do the same, Captain Drift. No, I didn't remove any, it just over-rode what was there, and I never had any problems with it... Yup, I think this is one for Halo too..

 

I ran the removal tool,
Went to the windows update site installed .net 1.1, restarted
went to windows update installed .net 1.1 service pack
restarted, installed the .net 3.5 update fine
Thanks for the advice, That is why this is a great site.

 

Hello Captain Drift, :wave Glad it worked out for you! yes, this is the bestest site I have found yet... I think I am putting down roots! :-D

 

You're welcome Captain Drift. Great that the removal tool did it's job and in the end everything worked out for you.

 

From what I read this tool will remove all .NET Framework versions if having trouble re-installing or removing, beyond beta's.

Halo, your comment really makes my day, getting to hear this from you means a LOT to me. Thank you.
