.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / September 2008Can't install .NET Framework 3.5 (error 1603)
The .NET Framework 3.5 installation fails for me. Right after the "Downloading components" stage, it sits for a few seconds on "Setup has finished downloading components, you can now disconnect from the Internet" and then it starts to roll back. I'm using XP SP2. A glance in the log files shows that it seems related to MSI error code 1603. Things I have tried: - reinstalling SP2 - uninstalling and reinstalling every .NET Framework version before 3.5 with all service packs Per Aaron Stebner's WebLog, I tried to enable verbose MSI logging, but even so the logs didn't really enlighten me. Here are all the files from my temp folder generated during setup: http://thecybershadow.net/dump/c5719a60148f4ae60a5fa4e3887b3baf/logs.zip Hopefully someone with some time and experience in the field can give me a few hints or things to try.

You might try this as an alternative: Go here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=333325FD-AE52-4E35-B531 -508D977D32A6&displaylang=en#Instructions Scroll down to Instructions and click on the link to download the redistributable package instead of the bootstrapper, then try the install from your local hard drive. > You might try this as an alternative: > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > redistributable package instead of the bootstrapper, then try the install > from your local hard drive. That didn't help, unfortunately. It seems to be the same error. I can post the logs at your request. uninstall .net framework 3.5 and reinstall it from the following link and it shud work. even i encountered the same problem and now it works fine http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=333325FD-AE52-4E35-B531 -508D977D32A6&displaylang=en > > You might try this as an alternative: > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > That didn't help, unfortunately.

Unfortunately, the problem that I, and most of the people complaining about this problem have, is exactly what we've reported. .Net Framework 3.5 "failed to install", meaning that there is no .Net framework 3.5 to uninstall and try reinstalling. It won't install "at all" in the first place. That is the whole problem from beginning to end.

Try the following: 1. Open Registry Editor (regedit in command prompt) 2. Navigate to the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet \Services\Eventlog\Security\ServiceModel 3.0.0.0 3. Right click ServiceModel 3.0.0.0 select Permissions 4. Click Advanced 5. Under Permissions tabs, Select Inherit from parent the permission entries that apply to child objects. Include these with entries explicitly defined here. 6. Click Apply, Click OK, Click Ok and Close Registry Editor. > Framework 3.5 "failed to install", meaning that there is no .Net > framework 3.5 to uninstall and try reinstalling.

There are lots of blog entries on how to find the root cause. The underlying cause is typically in one of the other log files. Those log files are written to a temporary directory (try Start/Run and typing %temp%). Aaron Stebner's blog goes into some detail http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2005/08/01/446328.aspx In my case, I found a 2761 error about a global mutex buried in one of those log files. It looked like it was related to RGB Rast installation, but as it turned out, I could not install any .msi files (MSIEXEC was corrupted in some way). That lead me to a post that fixed it for me: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=316101&SiteID=1 (look for a post by tomazek). In my case, it was a permissions error for WCF on one of the registry keys. 1603 is fuzzy.  SignatureRegards, Alvin Bruney [MVP ASP.NET] [Shameless Author plug] The O.W.C.

We had huge problems with 3.5 install; with help from MS, it turns out that you sometimes need to install it as a local admin on the machine. A domain admin isn't enough! So try making yourself a local admin (i.e. in the local "administrators" group for the machine) before installing. Marc My OS is running on Windows XP Embedded Version 2002 SP2 and I am facing the same problem. I am unable to install .NET Framework 3.5 and am faced with Error 1603. I have tried all the steps and solutions stated here but its not helping me. Hope someone can help me out with this problem! Thanks! ok based on previous post i read i looked at the logs in the %temp% and found: Windows Presentation Foundation: ***ERRORLOG EVENT*** so im reading and reading - not unistalling and re-installing ,,, been down that road to many times. Then a poster in another forum said: If you have Spybot Search and Destroy installed and the Tea-Timer activated...switch off the tea- timer and try again. http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/forums/index.cfm?action=showthread&threadid=314275&fo rumid=1&sr=21 so i thought - used to have a very hard time installing things with certain anti-virus programs. I turned mine off. installed perfectly. thanks for all the brainstorming everyone did, led me to my salvation. Have you solved this problem and how?
