Problems with .net 2.0 beta 2

I tried installing visual basic 2005, the installer download all the files and ran through the install then after that had all red crosses next to everything and said that .net framework 2.0 beta 2 had failed resulting in everything else failing, I have read other posts on this and tried installing after downloading from microsoft manually and recieved this error: Error 1719 Windows Installer Service cannot be accessed, this can occur in safe mode and if the installer isnt installed correctly, I followed this up and read about it on microsofts site and neither reinstalling or re-registereing works, and I can install any other program fine, in the temp files there areno files beggining dd_ .  .net framework 1.1 is installed and all windows updates are installed. im running windows x64 professional also IIS isnt running.

    Can you try the following to unregister then re-register the Windows Installer service.  Then try to install .NET Framework 2.0 Beta 2 again.

    1) To unregister the service
    msiexec /unregserver

    2) To register the service
    msiexec /regserver

    Let me know if this helps.

    Now I cant install anything :( "The windows installer service cannot be accessed" is the most common error, any ideas

    Hi,

    did you report to msdn product feedback center

  • Brian Chamberlain

    Only by using that option when you install, I re-registered the installer and now it encounters an error and doesnt say anything about it, still nothing in the temp file either, running the vb setup still gets errors.

    What happened when you run the command below

    msiexec /regserver

    After you register the Windows Installer service by using the command above, can you also check to see the state of the Windows Insaller service

    You can do this by right click on "My Computer" -> Manage
    Then click on the Services

    On the right pane, you will find Windows Installer.  Right click on the "Windows Installer" and select start, and see if the service will start.

    Thanks.

    Have you tried repairing your OS to see if that fixes the windows installer
