I'm sorry to post here, but the MCP Partner Hotline stated I had to try the
managed newsgroups on this issue. If this is the wrong board, please direct
me to the correct one.

I'm trying to use the Microsoft Certified Partner "Small Business Assessment
Toolkit" found at https://partner.microsoft.com/assesssmbneeds and I have met
the prerequisites by having XP Pro SP2, .NET Framework 2.0, and Infopath 2007
installed. When I try to run the install for this assessment tool, the
application installation begins normally, but stops quickly into the install
with the error: "Unable to install or run the application. The application
requires that the assembly System.AddIn.Contract Version 2.0.0.0 be installed
in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) first." I have no idea how to get this
assembly installed. Can anyone help me on this?

I appreciate your time. Thanks.

I'm rather sure this is the wrong newsgroup for your question, but I don't
know what the right one could be.

This sounds like the installer of that application is doing something
wrong. The assembly System.AddIn.Contract is a part of Microsoft's Managed
Addin Framework (MAF), but it shouldn't be your job to install it manually.

Sorry, no real help here - I guess you'll have to find the right contact
or a better newsgroup for a solution.
