I am attempting to install Net Framework 1.1 on a Windows 2000 computer with
Service Pack 4 installed and no outstanding critical updates. It continually
fails to install on this machine as a download from Windows Update. I have
succussfully installed the package via the download from Windows Update on
another system with the same operating system, service pack and all critical
updates installed. Both machines are connected to the same network and domain
controller.

The only difference in the dotNetFx.log files from the two machines. On the
successful installation the following appears:
Looking for mscoree.dll from PDC
mscoree.dll from PDC is not installed local
Looking for mscoree.dll from Beta
C:\WINNT\system32\mscoree.dll is installed local
Version: ....
Trying to load msi.dll (note it is looking for and found 2.0.2600)
...
Message: Microsoft .NET Framework Setup has completed successfully.

On the unsucessful installation the sequence is
Looking for mscoree.dll from PDC
mscoree.dll from PDC is not installed local
Looking for mscoree.dll from Beta
mscoree.dll is not installed local
Trying to load msi.dll (note it is looking for and found 2.0.2600)
...
Message: To continue with setup, it is necessary to reset the Windows
Installer. Restart your computer and start setup again.

I have also gone the restart and start setup route.

There is no WUTemp subdirectory on the machine.
There is no folder with .Framework on the drive.

I cannot start it at the command line either as has been suggested in other
posts. That produces a dialog that says either I am running Windows in safe
mode or that windows installer is not correctly installed. The former is not
true.

I am in a network environment where I do not have the permissions to turn
off the anti-virus (which did not affect the successful machine). Same for
the firewall.

What are my next options?
