.Net 2.0 Framework and .net 2.0SP1 framework

Question

We are installing .Net 2.0 and 3.0 Framework followed by .net 2.0SP1 globally on about 3000 computers but on about 1/4 of computers the .net 2.0sp1 part of the install is giving the exit code 5100.   We are installing on XP SP2.

Any ideas what this exit code relates to ?

thanks

Answer 1

Hello,
I would recommend .NET Framework 2.0 followed by its SP1 and SP2 and then .NET Framework 3.0 and so forth.

0x0013EC (5100) - Generic setup block

This error code will be returned in several different scenarios:

• The user running setup does not have administrative privileges
• A previous beta version is installed (the algorithm is similar to the one for the .NET Framework 2.0 described  here, but the product codes are stored in the file named setup.sdb instead of install.ini)
• A later version of the .NET Framework 3.0 is already installed
• The OS that setup is being run on is not supported
• The OS that setup is being run on does not have the minimum service pack installed

Thank you for Martina's kindly help.

Hi MillyMolly,

Please try Martina's good suggestions.

If above suggestions do not work, could you please try to use collect tool to collect the log files of .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 from the "%temp%" folder?

You can upload your log files to SkyDrive and post the link back here.

Steps:
- Try to clean your "%temp%" folder
- Install .NET Framework 2.0 SP1
- Collect the logs from "%temp%" folder

Thanks

Hello

Thank you for your replies.

From further investigation I have found we have some computers in our user community that already have .Net 2.0 already installed and that SP1 seems to
be having an issues installing on these machines and this is throwing up the 5100 exit code.

I will try the collect tool next week.
thanks again
