.Net 4.0 RTM Installation Stuck

Question

Hi,

 

I am facing a weird problem while installing .Net 4.0 RTM on 64 bit Vista or LH. It stuck. Here is the log.

[12/8/2010, 12:41:10] === Logging started: 2010/12/08 12:41:10 ===

[12/8/2010, 12:41:43] Error 0x80004005: Failed to extract

I am installing it in an unattended way using following command

 

[DEV10_PATH]\dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe /passive /norestart

 

Where [DEV10_PATH] denotes local .Net 4.0 RTM location. Before running this command I already ran PreInstall.cmd.

 

Have you seen this error? Any help to fix this will be really helpful.

 

Regards

Hi Kumar.Ashok,

Thank you for posting.

Based on your provided information, 0x80070424 translates to "The specified service does not exist as an installed service." I suggest that you should check whether or not windows installer’s service was started. If not, please start this service and try it again. If yes, please stop and restart this service and try it again.

If you have any questions, please feel free to provide entire log file in your reply.

Best Regards,

Larcolais
