I get the following error when I try to install WSE 2.0 SP1 (tried the
"Developer", "Visual Studio Developer" and "Custom" options):

Error 10001.InstallUtilLib.dll: Unknown error in CorBindToRuntimeHost
(0x80131700).

After the error, the installer unwinds and the installation fails.

Environment: Windows XP Pro SP2, VS.NET 2003

Any help would be appreciated,

Mike Oliver

I have also found this error... but the reason is the version of
InstallShield used to build the msi. The link mentions installing the
framework 1.0 but I doubt we will do that on our servers...

Hopefully MS will soon release a new MSI and the problem will go away.

We actually worked a lot on this issue, it is caused by a change to the
.NET Framework InstallUtilLib.dll between .NET Framework 1.0 and 1.1.
This library is used by tools such as InstallShield to install
assemblies into the GAC and, if there is a version mismatch, it can
result in the failure you see.

The current WSE 2.0 MSI's should not exhibit this behaviour so I'd like
to get some more information from you: can you tell me which OS version
you are running and which versions of the Framework are installed (I
assume 1.1 only)? Does this error occur on all your servers or only a few?

I appreciate the visibility MS code gets... Didn't mean to imply a lack of
effort on your part...

Only on some of our boxes - All mentioned in this message are Win2003 Servers.

Worked fine on a handful of developer boxes and the DEV web server.
For QA and one other environment the error occurs. So far I took a quick
look comparing DEV and QA. Hotfixes and Framework look the same.

all are 1.1.4322.573 from the .NET Framework Configuration Tool

Let me know if you would prefer to exchange messages via email.

Thanks for you time,
Chris

There is a 1.0.3705 folder, but it is nearly empty

OS: Win XP Pro SP2
Framework: Just 1.1

Only seems to fail on one development machine, seems to install okay
on all our other machines so far...

I ran into this problem this afternoon on a development machine running
Windows Server 2003. The MSI was downloaded from the MS web site earlier
today (11/06/2004). (I successfully installed the same MSI package on a
production Windows Server 2003 box and a Windows XP developer machine, so
the package itself seems to be OK).

Both Windows Server 2003 boxes have only the .NET Framework 1.1: the MSI
installs fine on one but not the other. The only other difference is that
the production box has the .NET Framework 1.1 with SP1. I'm having a
problem installing the .NET Framework 1.1 SP1 via Windows Update on this
box, too -- perhaps these problems are related. The installer just hangs on
the download page and does not indicate any progress... The machine has no
connectivity problems and otherwise is just fine.

Has anything else been learned about what might be causing the WSE 2.0 MSI
package to fail?
Thanks

There is still a bug in install shield.

if msi fails add _isconfig.xml to c:\ then rerun the install.

Chris,

Thanks for the information -- this solved the problem. Thanks also for
helping me avoid getting a PhD in InstallShield.
