.NET Framework 2.0 SP1 appears to be a full version with sp1 slipstreamed. Can go skip 2.0 install and go straight to install 2.0 Sp1 instead?

Hi TerryCheng - You're correct, the .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 is a slipstream release that includes the original .NET Framework 2.0 functionality and the patched binaries that are a part of SP1. The 2.0 SP1 package will correctly install on a system that does not yet have the .NET Framework 2.0, and it will automatically upgrade the .NET Framework 2.0 to SP1 if it is already on the system.

If you're interested, I posted a bit more about the behind the scenes details of 2.0 SP1 setup at http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2008/01/17/7145670.aspx.

After installing and using Quickbooks 2008 for awhile, all of a sudden a laptop could not get into quickbooks. the Loading screen appeared but then would disappear without opening quickbooks. after much research (see http://support.quickbooks.intuit.com/support/pages/knowledgebasearticle/1009275

it indicated it was a damaged component of Microsoft.NET Framework 2.0

It suggested going thru add/remove programs to delete Microsoft .net framework 2.0--which of course didn't work. we also tried restoring to an older date, and that didn't work (3 attempts). In looking on line there were lots of complicated ways to try.

One computer "expert" suggested wiping the harddrive and restoring everything from start(way over my head) and another said the server computer and laptop may not have the same level of Microsoft Net, which was the case. The laptop had 2.5, the main server had 3.0--however another computer was working fine with the 2.5 framework and attaching to quickbooks without a problem.

We tried loading Framework 3.0 onto the laptop, and that wouldn't work either, however it did work on the 2nd computer.

However, I found a way to fix our situation without alot of trouble---maybe it will work for some of you.

go to control panel, add/remove programs.

Click on Microsoft Framework Net 2.0

DO NOT do the change/remove button

there is a place to click that says:

"click here for support" click on that button

you then get an option of support or products update link. click on the products update link

which brings you to the MSDN page.

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/default.aspx

a microsoft silverlight install screen will come up---i just closed that screen

then scan down that page and there is an option to download Microsoft Framework Net 3.5

hit download, then save.

We were then able to again open quickbooks on the laptop, and have since added this 3.5 to all our computers, and so far all is working well.

Good Luck, I hope this saves some of you time, and works.

Following the procedure 'To create an administrative install point for the .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 x86:' I found that the administrative install MSI would not run with the switches given, or any switches for that matter. I got the message that I had to run setup.exe. The only way I found around this was to edit the MSI using Wise Windows Installer Editor and remove the Custom Action "*BlockDirectInstall*".

Then it worked fine and I should be able to deploy via Active Directory Software installation which is my goal.

Hi Dlpirl - The VSEXTUI=1 parameter should bypass this custom action that blocked you in this scenario. Are you sure you passed that in when you tried to deploy your 2.0 SP1 MSI using msiexec.exe?

You should not need to go into the MSI and manually remove custom actions to make this work, and I do not recommend modifying the MSIs that have been shipped by Microsoft in this way.

Ah! I was putting a '/' in front of the VSEXTUI=1 parameter, and it doesn't want one. It runs fine as you say.

dlpirl — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 01:37:22 GMT

and... it works fine deployed via Active Directory software installation GPO. As know, only MSI can be used for AD installs, but it is not possible to use any switches. Yet NET Framework 2.0 SP1 appears to have installed fine on my W2K test workstation.

Thanks for the great work!

Hi Dlpirl - I'm glad that you were able to get this working. Let me know if you run into any additional issues in the future.
