Can't Install anything to do with .NET Framework 1.1

I can't install the SP2 for .NET framework 1.1 from either Windows Update or
from the direct download. I also cannot reinstall framework 1.1 with getting
an internal error. I also cannot uninstall the framework. I've even tried
shutting down services and closing everything I can think of in the task
manager.

I am running XP Pro SP2.

When I try to install FW 1.1 SP2 from the downloaded file I get this:

Error 1305. Error reading from file:
C:\WINDOWS\Installer\160c5f.msi. Verify that the file
exists and that you can access it.

The file does exist. Not sure what's wrong with it.

When I try to install the regular dotnetfx.exe I get:

Internal Error 2711. S867460

Any ideas.

Hi

You may want to try the procedure that Eric outlines here:

Ok, instead of just running the dotnetfx.exe I tried his method on the
command line of:

dotnetfx.exe /t:%temp% /c:"msiexec.exe /fvecms %temp%\netfx.msi"

and still get the same error when it goes to install:

Internal Error 2711. S867460

Hi,

I too getting similar error.

I am using windows 2000 with .NET Framework 1.1.

I upgraded to .NET Framework SP1 through windows update service. But
setup hang while installing.

Now my ASP.NET sites stoped working

http://www.netforhost.com/test.aspx

Server Application Unavailable

Now i download SP1 from MS site and tryed installing, but getting
error

Internal Error 2711. S867460

I tryed uninstalling .NET Framework 1.1 through Add/Remove Programs,
again getting the same error.

Internal Error 2711. S867460

I found stoping IIS and install will help, but in my case, i am
getting same error even after stoping IIS.

Can any one tell me how to correct this problem ?

Regards,

Yujin

Hi Yujin,

Try rebooting your computer before stopping IIS and installing the .NET 1.1
SP. For some reason, failed .NET SP update attempts leave a bunch of
orphaned msiexec processes hanging around that prevents further attempts. (I
guess if your inclined, you could also kill off the msiexec processes with
the task manager insead of rebooting.)

Cheers,
-- Ian

Tried. Rebooted, did a iisreset /stop, tried installing dotnetfx.exe. Get an
internal error.

Your problem may be different. I was only attempting to apply the .NET 1.1
SP; I already had .NET 1.1 installed. Just curious, before you attempted
stop IIS, did you look in the services control panel to see if the World Web
Publishing service was stuck in the "starting" state? This was the
bottleneck for me applying the update.

Good luck,
