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

I figured out how to install it, go here
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
Then download, then install. If you get an error on the install (towards the
end is where I got mine) go to add/remove programs and repair it.
This worked for me and hopefully you.

Add me to the list! I had successfully downloaded "Microsoft .NET Framework
2.0 Service Pack 1 (KB110806) (x86)" as a high priority update. Then
rebooted and tried ot download "Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0: x86 (KB928416)"
as an optional update. Error Code: 0x643, same as the others. Using XP
SP3.

Can anyone explain why I am only now showing .net framework 2 sp1 and .net
framework 3.0 x86 in my update list? I see others were downloading this at
the beginning of the year! I regularly check for updates, and these 2 just
now appeared? I'm running XP SP3.

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

Thanks for the response.

I loaded the last of the v2 sp 2 items and that went fine. Then I
downloaded the entire v3.51 sp as per the website recommendations.

Same problem....

Here's an excerpt from the end of the file named
"dd_NET_Framework30_Setup12CD"

The ServiceModelReg tool has completed successfully.
05/04/09 23:05:36 DDSet_Status: Process returned 0
05/04/09 23:05:36 DDSet_CARetVal: 0
MSI (s) (40:60) [23:05:36:328]: Executing op:
ActionStart(Name=RegisterFonts,Description=Registe ring
fonts,Template=Font: [1])
05/04/09 23:05:36 DDSet_Exit: RunProcess ended
MSI (s) (40:60) [23:05:36:328]: Executing op:
ProgressTotal(Total=4,Type=1,ByteEquivalent=180000 0)
MSI (s) (40:60) [23:05:36:328]: Executing op:
SetTargetFolder(Folder=C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\)
MSI (s) (40:60) [23:05:36:328]: Executing op: FontRegister(Title=Global
Monospace,File=GlobalMonospace.CompositeFont)

This is the normal failure point. I had to execute a system restore to
get back to where I was prior to the v3.51 stuff, as usual.

I'm going to post this before I look in the font directory because I
imagine as soon as I do the system will hang until I restart and delete
Global series of fonts. Again.

Should I just reformat the drive and reinstall?

You're mowst welcome. I know a little about .NET and a lot less
concerning Fonts. Perhaps you should contact Aaron prior to wiping and
reinstalling to confirm your suspicions and save yourself some time ?

Thanks again for the response.

I did leave a message for Aaron and also had YiChun Chen get back to
me.

I've since cleaned the temp directory, reran the install (still messed
up in the same spot), and run the collect utility to capture the logs
which I uploaded over on msdn skyline.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I've been at this for so long my eyes
are already crossed.

Finally threw in the towel and reformatted my C: partition and did a
clean install.

Everything worked, 1st time.

Didn't have much loaded on there and probably should have doen it
sooner, just frustrated me that my 5 year old system updated fine and my
new (5 month old) system wouldn't.

Was going to work through a list of differences in the software to see
what the most likely culprit might have been but I really doubt that
will be fruitful, or time effective.
