Error installing .net framework 1.1

[Guest]

I need to install the .net framework 1.1 to run a financial software on my
Widnows ME. I received a message that the "setup cannot acess Microsoft
Windows Installer component". Based on the dotnetfx.log the setup cannot find
"C:\windows\installer" folder. I received a message the folder already
exisited if I create a "C:\windows\installer" folder.

Please help. Here are the messages in the dotnetfx.log file:

Hi John,

It's been a while since I ran the installation file, but make sure you click the setup.exe if it is available instead of an .msi file. Chances are you are trying to install the wrong msi file.

Or, you can try reinstalling (or updating) the windows installer to make sure you have the latest version.
