I have been unable to install the .NET update. I am running Windows 2000
Professional on an IBM ThinkPad Laptop. I do not have any beta versions of
..net installed. I have Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1 as well as the hotfix
for it - (KB886903). I tried installing it with the critical updates, then
seperate from the critical updates. Both times I got error 0x659; I have no
idea what that error means.
Additionally, as recommended on this forum, I tried going to the Microsoft
..NET Framework developer centerand downloading/installing it directly from
that site
(
http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframewo...s/default.aspx). I
tried installing the Redistributal Package (2.0 x86) as the site says this
must be installed before installing the SDK 2.0 x86 package. It was unable
to install; the error message said that it either could not open the
installation package or a required file.
The only thing I have yet to try is to uninstall the 1.1 version (and
hotfix) before trying to install the 2.0 version. I did not think this was
necessarily causing a problem since all the posts I have read so far said
that only those people with beta versions had to uninstall them first.
I will post again once I have tried uninstalling version 1.1 first.
