Installing .Net 2.0 on Win Server 2003

I am trying to install Visual Studios 2005 on my win server 2003. It fails
at the beginning of installation after attempting to install the .Net 2.0
framework. It does not tell me why it fails. Anyone know how to correct
this?

I checked knowledge base, and FAQ's, but could not find anything... Thanks
in advance.
 
check the installlog.txt log file which can be found somewhere inside the
Program Files\<Visual Studio.NET installation directory> . The file contains
extensive installation log details

R2 or original? If R2, the install is in the Add/Remove Programs >>
Add/Remove Windows Components.

Hi Joe,

I have the same opinion with Subin, we need some related error message to
isolate this problem.

by the way, have you installed any pre-RTM VS2005 product in your Windows
2003 server? If yes, you need to uninstall those pre-RTM VS2005 product
first, please refer to the following MSDN article for the details:

Uninstalling Previous Versions of Visual Studio 2005

Thanks!

Thank you for responding,

The error log states:

[01/11/06,12:55:48] Microsoft Visual J# .NET Redistributable Package 1.1:
[2] Error code 1603 for this component means "Fatal error during
installation.
"
[01/11/06,12:55:48] Microsoft Visual J# .NET Redistributable Package 1.1:
[2] Setup Failed on component Microsoft Visual J# .NET Redistributable
Package 1.1
[01/11/06,12:55:49] setup.exe: [2] Unable to open g_szRegkeyMSIntegration in
CSetupManager::RemoveSetupFiles()

in CSetupManager::RunInstall()
[01/11/06,12:55:49] VS70BaseUI: [2] DepCheck indicates Microsoft Visual J#
..NET Redistributable Package 1.1 is not installed.


I have followed all of the resolutions on the "You recieved as 'Error 1603:
A Fatal error occured during install'" from the support.microsoft.com
website.
I have made sure that i have Full Control permissions to the system account.
I have no other instances of VS on this computer i.e. Beta's or older
versions.
I am not attempting to install this to a "substitute drive"
I am not attempting to install the package to an encrypted file

Thank you for any advice you can give me

It seems your Windows 2004 machine has some problem to access a specific
registry key, maybe like the case which discussed in the following Blog
article, which caused by the Administrators group somehow was only granted
read permission to some of the registry keys under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT on
some machines, I suggest you can try the workaround in this article first:

How to workaround errors installing .NET Framework 2.0 that are caused by
registry permission problems

Wish it works!

Thank you for your help. That Blog solved my problem. You saved me from a
rather large headache...
