.Net Framework 2.0 SP1 install fails HELP!

[benjjj6]

Hi

After windows update kept saying that the installation of Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 had failed I managed to download the file so I could try and install it manually.

I went through the install procedure and near the end it said

"Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 has encountered a problem during setup. Setup did not complete correctly."

It told me to see the error log for more information, heres all it said:

[12/11/07,10:47:58] Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0a: [2] Error: Installation failed for component Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0a. MSI returned error code 1603
[12/11/07,11:03:40] Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0a: [2] Error: Installation failed for component Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0a. MSI returned error code 1603

[12/11/07,11:59:26] WapUI: [2] DepCheck indicates Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0a is not installed.

WHen it asked me to send an error report I chose to view the contents of the report and it said this:

Error Signature:

P2 : 3.5.21022.08_orcas_x86_net P3 : mc P4 : inst P5 : f

and

C:\DOCUME~1\Ben\LOCALS~1\Temp\VSW4\VSSWMSIInstallTime.txt
C:\DOCUME~1\Ben\LOCALS~1\Temp\VSW4\VSSWMSIFailInfo.txt

Tell me if you need these files.

I have no idea what the problem could be. Ive had this problem since I screwed up my page file (see my other thread on this forum) and did a system restore.... I know this is probably insignificant but as I was trying to install it ZoneAlarm asked me if I wanted to allow or disable whatever was happening, obviously I chose allow so I doubt this was the problem.

This is really annoying, any help would be appreciated.

thanks,

Ben
