Hi Aaron,

I followed your previous advise and removed the block from the MSI and its working great.

Thanks again. Your awesome!

Thanks Aaron,

I was hoping to avoid going that route. I have the MSI added to GPO correctly and I added the MST file you made, to the GPO but .Net still fails to install. I do use that same MST file for all of the MSI files? (core, extended,64 bit 32 bit etc..)I used Orca to run a validation test using the MSI and MST and received a ton of Mismatched component reference warning.

Thanks

Hi Trev - I'd suggest referring to the .NET Framework Deployment Guide for Administrators for instructions about how to deploy the .NET Framework to a network of computers. You can find this deployment guide at msdn.microsoft.com/.../ee390831(v=VS.100).aspx.

Hi Guys,

Sorry but I am little weak on this. I ran the commands in the instructions but I am unsure on which MSI I am suppose to use now. I have multiple MSI files in multiple locations.

I am wanting to put the MSI in a GPO

Never mind. Once again I'm an idiot. I found your cleanup tool. Worked like a charm. Thanks for being a genius and putting this stuff online.

I see the last commment was from 2011. I hope this is still monitored. I accidentally (stupidly) installed the 32 bit version on my 64 bit system. I can't believe it actually worked. I wish it wouldn't have. I've tried everything under the sun to remove it, but it tells me I can't run the uninstaller on a 64 bit system. Is there anyway to remove the original installation so I can install the correct (64 bit) version?

Hi, we've managed to identify what was preventing the installation. Offci 2003 installs some text to speech/handwriting features and if we removed these the installtion worked a-ok.

Thanks for the offer of assistance though.

Hi Brian - If you're running into a .NET Framework 4 installation failure, the first troubleshooting step is to find the root cause of the failure from the log files, and then go from there depending on what the logs say. Can you please use the tool described at blogs.msdn.com/.../6458047.aspx to gather your .NET Framework setup log files, post the file named %temp%\vslogs.cab that is created by this tool to a file server (such as http://skydrive.live.com) and then reply here with a link I can use to download the log files and take a further look?
