Hello:
I hope that I'm posting to the correct area...
I'm trying to install Visual C++ 2005 Express Beta 2 and the installation process fails. The failure occurs after the download is complete and the installation of the .NET framework has commenced. No error information is displayed, other than the notificaton that the error has occurred. I've turned off Spybot, for what that's worth. Any ideas on how to proceed
Thanks!

Thanks again for the help.
There is no mscoree in my system32 folder. Is that the problem What does mscoree.dll do
Thanks,
Dave

Thanks for the reply. No, there is no existing .NET framework. I saw that possible explanation listed on the Visual Studio web site FAQs. I've gone over all the FAQs and troubleshooting information on the Visual Studio site and none of it appears to match what I'm seeing.
Thanks,
Dave

The framework logs look like dd_netfxui* and dd_netxfxmsi.
If you see an error, post it along with the lines above it.
The dd_vserror80.txt also provides clues as to why it failed.

I'm following up with Dave to find out what tool he used to unlock the registry.

No, the 1.1 framework (or any other version of .NET) has never been installed on this machine.
Thanks,

Thanks much for your suggestion. Here is some text from the files you described. Does any of this suggest a source of the problem

Hi Dave
Im hoping you can assist me too....except I'm not as PC savvy as the previous posters & you may have to direct me through to the logs. I have WIndows XP & have recently purchased & installed Norton Antivirus 2006 & Norton System WOrks 2006. ONly problem is, systemworks - Norton Ghost in particular will not work as it requires the program dotnetfsxIExpress Setup Microsoft to work. After I've done a Norton Windoctor scan, it tells me I'm without the necessary file 'mscoree.dll'.
When Norton asks me if I want to download the necessary file from Microsoft & I click yes, it gets all the way through, then says "Microsoft.NET Framework 1.1 setup has ended prematurely".
ANy assistance would be hugely appreciated! Kind regards, aly

Do you have the 1.1 framework on that machine
