What do i do??

Answer 1

Hi Siddharth,

Could you please help me to collect all the log files from your %temp% folder and compress them into a zip file?

Another choice for you. Use the tool to collect VS 2008 SP1 setup log files.

"I ran into the same problem. These actions helped me to resolve the problem:

1.try to find the detailed installation log files (on unsuccessfull installation finish  service of MS reporting offers you to send the info about the error, click to see the info is sent to them - that what you actually need; in my case - files in "c:\Documents and Settings\administrator\Local Settings\Temp\VSW2"  )

2. Inspect those files to find out on what was the actual reason; in my case the Windows Installer didn't have sufficient rights to overwrite some files C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\v3.0\System.IdentityModel.dll;

(MSI (s) (E8:B8) [11:46:47:500]: Note: 1: 1321 2: C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\v3.0\System.IdentityModel.dll
MSI (s) (E8:B8) [11:46:47:500]: Windows Communication Foundation -- Error 1321. The programm does not have sufficient right to change the file: C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\v3.0\System.IdentityModel.dll.)

- this error i found in VSSWMSIFailInfo.txt log file

3. I added myself all rigthts on that entire folder ran the setup again and got no errors.

In general, just try to find more details about installation errors in log files. In my case it helped me."




I did not understand the above lines,can u pls explain me in easy words??Running that program was no good

Answer 5

Hi Siddharth,

The above lines that you mentioned is the steps how Farvator (who posted that in the thread) solved his problem.

Step 1 and 2 indicate how to inspect those files to find out errors. I have done that for you and finally found out the error (Error 1321).

Step 3 shows Farvator’s method to solve his question. In his log files, it seems that some disabled rights or services blocked the installation.

I think that this is good suggestion for you. Could you please check whether you use Administrator Privilege to get more rights or service enabled?

Another question, do you install .Net Framework 3.0 from HDD, CD-ROM or DVD-ROM? You had better install .Net 3.0 from HDD.

yes, i am the admin

Answer 9

Hi Siddharth,

I found that you seem to install .Net framework 3.0 on D disk.

Which disk do you install your XP??

If your XP is not on D disk, please try to install .Net framework 3.0 on your System Drive.
