Is this the DVD or Web Download version of the installer Sorry for all the questions but this is the first time we have encountered this error.
If you are using the web version you might want to try downloading it again.
Also please verify that you can view the C:\Windows\Assembly\ folder on you drive. When looking at the list of files in there do you see anything that starts off with Microsoft.Xna.*

Ok, I have a few more details to share from our Setup folks...
For the March 2006 Community Technology Preview of XNA Build the Setup only reminds you to install the pre-requisites (via the HTML page you may have seen pop up when you first run Setup) but does not enforce that you do so prior to kicking off the full install. So if you ignore the reminder about the pre-requisites and you are actually missing some of those pre-requisites, you will get various error messages during installation or running XNA Build which some of you have reported.
The solution is to make sure you have each of the pre-requisites installed prior to installing XNA Build. If you're not sure, you can simply run the installer for each of the pre-requisites and if it is not installed it will be installed at that time.
Of course, the Setup for the official release will be "smarter" about forcing you to install the pre-requisites prior to installing the main program. But for pre-releases such as this, our focus is on getting as much functionality into the program and the Setup feature receives less emphasis.
BTW - a sincere thanks to everybody who chimed in on this thread and other threads with great details about the problems you're seeing. This is all very helpful and will help us to build better products for you in the end.

The first time I ran it was from the Autorun on the DVD, which took me to the HTML page you're referring to. I just assumed I already had the pre-requisites installed and skipped them. I was getting these errors while installing the VS 2005 included. Once the pre-reqs and VS 2005 were installed, the button in the Autorun app launched the XNA Build installer as expected.
Great work on the whole system, btw. I can't wait to see what you guys have in store for the platform!

Brian,
Thanks for your help. The problem was on my end with IE, I cleared cache and all is good. This time I saved the file in another place and ran FileMon while installing. Nothing real exciting to report there. However, after the first "burp", I went to the .LOG file and found this:

I think you are right that the XNA pre-requisites are not installed. However, there is no indication that they are missing.

RWatson, the files are live so you should be able to download it. Maybe you can try downloading another file from Microsoft.com to see if it might be a problem on your connection I just tried downloading MC2 from my home connection to try to troubleshoot your issue and it worked for me. Let me know if you continue to have problems.

What version of Windows are you running the installer under
Thanks

Matt -
Did you run the EXE when you installed XNA Build, or did you try running the MSI file directly The installer should have checked for the pre-requisites and presented you with an HTML page indicated which pre-requisites you needed to install before you could install XNA Build.
Please let me know what your experience was so we can try to troubleshoot it further.

Are you using any type of download manager when you downloaded these files What browser are you using to download the files Looking up the errors you gave me I am seeing that it's a corrupted CAB file that exsists inside the MSI file.
Finally please make sure that you have Windows Installer 3.1 on your system. You should have gotten a different error if it didn't exsist but I just wanted to make sure.
