I'm trying to install the dotnet framework 1.1 on a Windows 2000 Pro, SP 4
box. I've downloaded dotnetfx.exe and am installing from c:\temp.
This is the error message that I get: Error 1606. Could not access network
location %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools. The
folder exists and I've given full permission to it to everyone, so I don't
think this is some kind of security issue.
Here's the installation log:

Just a quick question, are you running setup logged in as a user with
administrative access?
