Hey I removed .NET 2.0 and 3.0 on my XPSP2 with IE7 comp and then installed .NET 3.5 RTM. Now Windows Live Writer gives me a ".NET-BroadcastEventWindow" and "memory could not be read" error when I exit Live Writer. Is this a .NET problem or Live Writer problem? I've tried uninstalling completely, running the cleanup tool and then reinstalling.

Hi Someone - This type of error doesn't sound familiar to me, so if I had to guess, I'd suspect a Windows Live Writer issue as opposed to a .NET Framework problem. Do you see errors with other .NET Framework applications on this system or is it unique to Live Writer? I'd suggest checking with the Live Writer team via their blog at http://windowslivewriter.spaces.live.com/default.aspx to see if they've heard of any issues like this and can suggest any possible workarounds.

Dotnet problem solved but new problem for MS Office

henrylih — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 10:37:18 GMT

Hello Aaron, after running your dotnet cleaning tool, the dotnet 1.1 error message which block me from starting my HP scanning software has been solved, that error no longer comes back.

But then I can't start my MS Office 2007, including Word, Outlook, etc. The error says "the application failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem".

Then I insert my Office 2007 CD to my computer to 'repair' it, but after running about 5 ~ 8 minutes, it comes out with configuration/setup failure. The error message is "Error 1334. The file 'IPFORMCT.DLL' can't be installed because the file cannot be found in Cabinet file 'EnterWW.CAB'." Then it rolls back and the repair fails.

I don't mind reinstall Office, but I care about my outlook emails, not sure if I can get back all my old emails in my computer if I re-install the Office 2007. And don't know how to get back and connect to the outlook file that stores all my emails.

Thanks! Henry

I can't remove my MS Office 2007 either

henrylih — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 08:49:07 GMT

(continued) Today I tried to remove my Office 2007 twice, but it failed twice. The error reads: "Error 1316, Setup can't read from file C:\Windows\Installer\EnterpriseWW.msi, Set up failed. Please see c:\Documents and Settings\User\Locals..\Temp\Setup0000b20\setup.chm"

So now I can't even remove and re-install Office 2007. Then I tried to restore to a previous date, it failed too.

It seems now I have to re-install the whole Windows XP, which is not what I want to see.

It's now worse than the original. Any hint?

Thanks! Henry

Hi Henrylih - The error you listed in your first comment ("the application failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem") usually means that one of the Visual C++ runtime files is missing from the system. There will usually be an error listed in your event log after running into that type of error that will list the exact file that is missing.

You may want to try to install the VC++ 2005 runtime redistributable on your system to see if that helps. There are a couple of versions of this redist, so I'd suggest installing both of them just in case:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=32bc1bee-a3f9-4c13-9c99-220b62a191ee

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=200B2FD9-AE1A-4A14-984D-389C36F85647

Some of these files are a part of the .NET Framework, so the cleanup tool would've removed them if you chose to remove all versions. You may want to also re-install the .NET Framework 2.0 if you removed it with the cleanup tool (I mention this as a possibility because your comment only mentions the .NET Framework 1.1).

The error that you list in your 2nd comment makes it sound like the Office 2007 installation files are missing from your system somehow. You could try to manually remove Office 2007 using steps like the one at http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2005/10/30/487096.aspx, and then try to re-install Office using your original installation CD.

I'm not sure what would cause that 1334 (file cannot be found in the cab) error when you run from your CD to try to re-install. It could be caused by your CD being dirty or something like that, so you may want to try to gently clean the back of your Office CD to see if that helps.

Hopefully the above will help you avoid needing to reformat your system. Please let me know how it goes for you.

Your VC++ works!! Thanks indeed!

Not sure if it's because my previous two posts too long, I posted them but the weblink doesn't return to confirm my posts.

To make it short, after running the VC++ runtime re-distributable, I can start my Office 2007 and MSN! Wonderful! And thanks indeed! You're excellent!
