While installing .net framework, I get following message "Microsoft .NET Framework Setup has failed. If this continues, please contact Product Support.

the dotnetfx.log has following entr

Calling MsiInstallProduct() with commandline
ADDLOCAL=All ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT=1 ARPNOREMOVE=1 REBOOT=ReallySuppres
IIS_NOT_PRESENT=

ReturnCode=160

Do I need to install the IIS as appears from the log? Pl. help
TIA
 
Hello Blomberg,

You do not need to install IIS to install .NET Framework, you need only IIS
if you plan to use ASP.NET.
Any way, did you have Windows Installer ver 2.0 installed on your machine?
what OS you are trying to install .NET in? Are you installing .NET Framework
SDK, or Redistributable???

The error code 1601, denotes an error in accessing the Windows Installer
service, verify that the Windows Installer service correctly registered.
also verify that the Windows Installer Service in Control Panel can be
started successfully.

This error maybe also due to out of disk space, but in that case you will
see a clear message to let you know.

Windows Installer Error Messages 1601 also signifies 1601 Out of disk space
-- Volume: '[2]'; required space: [3] KB; available space: [4] KB

See Windows Installer\Windows Installer Error Messages

You might attempt clearing your temp folder and reinstalling.

Another solution might be copy Runtime locally extract the files using /c
switch then attempt to install using netfx.msi

to explode the dotnetfx.exe:
copy to local directory
open cmd window and navigate to redist location
extract files using the following:
dotnetfx.exe /c /T:<Local directory where you have copied Dotnetfx.exe>
you should find the following files available:

InstMsi.exe
InstMsiW.exe
install.exe
netfx.msi
netfx1.cab

install using netfx.msi
