This issue can be caused by a damaged .NET Framework 2.0 installation. In
order to resolve the issue, we have to remove/reinstall previous versions of
.NET Framework. Based on its current status, I suggest trying the following
troubleshooting steps.

Step 1: Download Microsoft Windows Installer Cleanup Utility
=============================================
1. Please visit:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/E/9/D/E9D80355-7AB4-45B8-80E8-983A48D5E1BD/msicuu2.exe
2. Save the file on your Desktop
3. Double click the file msicuu2.exe on the Desktop to install this tool on
the computer.

Step 2: Remove the previous version of .NET Framework 2.0 if installed.
=====================================================
1. Click Start -> (All) Programs->Windows Installer Clean Up.
2. Please locate and remove all .NET Framework products.

After removing .NET Framework components, let's reinstall .NET Framework 3.0
and its updates.

Step 3: Manually downloading and installing Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0
=======================================================
1. Click the following link:

Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=70848

2. When the file download window appears, please click "Save", and follow
the directions to save it on the Desktop. After downloading the Microsoft
.NET Framework 3.0 setup file on your Desktop, double-click to manually
install it.

3. After completing the above steps, please restart the computer and install
the updates for .NET Framework 3.0 from the following links:

Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 Service Pack 1

http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/9/0/49001df1-af88-4a4d-b10f-2d5e3a8ea5f3/dotnetfx30SP1setup.exe

Hi, Calven,

I've been following your instructions in response to The Dane's original
question. All was proceeding well until I got to the installation of the
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 Service Pack 1. The installation fails, and I
get the error message, "[02/01/08,23:54:38] Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0SP1
x86: [2] Error code 1603 for this component means "Fatal error during
installation."
[02/01/08,23:54:39] Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0SP1 x86: [2] Setup Failed on
component Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0SP1 x86
[02/01/08,23:54:50] WapUI: [2] DepCheck indicates Microsoft .NET Framework
2.0SP1 x86 is not installed.

I had thought that the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 stood alone from
previous versions, but I get the sense that this error message means I need
to install version 2.0 as well. How is this going to work?

Thanks so much,
Missysmom
