I'd like to install Visual Studio .NET 2003 on Windows XP Professional x64
Edition (beta, v.1218).  It fails when installing the .NET framework 1.1.
Attempting to install .NET 1.1 using the stand-alone dotnetfx.exe also
fails.  The hardware is:
MB: Tyan K8W (S2885)
Proc: Dual AMD Opteron 246 (64-bit)
Mem: 2 GB. 400MHz DDR ECC Registered
HD: 2 80 GB. SATA drives in a RAID 0 array

I've also tried running dotnetfx /c:"Install /l", and so I have a verbose
log file.  Nothing in there is forthcoming except a fatal error number 1603.
I get the messages:

"
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 setup has ended prematurely.  If this persists,
please contact Product Support.
"

and then

"
Microsoft .NET Framework Setup failed.  If this problem continues, contact
Product Support Services.
"

I have the full 8 MB. log file if that would be useful.  If its possible to
do a "manual" install of .NET 1.1, that would be fine.  I only need to
successfully run Visual Studio and compile and debug C++ projects. The end
application does not use .NET at all.

After getting through a few errors, I can successfully install beta 1 of
Visual Studio 2005.  However, I want to be able to install and run Visual
Studio .NET 2003 for a few reasons:
* To debug a current 32-bit application that fails to run properly under XP
x64 (an access violation).  This application will be ported to native x64,
but I'd like to get it working in 32-bit mode first / WOW64 first.
* We'd like to move development machines to XP Pro x64 when it is officially
released.  If Visual Studio 2005 goes RTM later than Windows XP Pro x64 goes
RTM, then we'd like to be able to successfully run VS 2003 in the mean time.

Shouldn't .NET 1.1 and VS 2003 just run in 32-bit mode under WOW64 (Windows
32 on Windows 64, aka Windows on Windows 64)?

Thanks!
