We are trying to install netframework and it only just begins before a
message saying setup failed. The log (enclosed) says looking for
mscoree.dll and can't be found. I have downloaded this dll and put it in
the system 32 folder (I think properly) and still the same results. Any
ideas? Thank you!

Hello Voit,

I had the same problem. It was related with Windows Installer. I used the following utility to remove the Windows Installer information about ..NET Framework. Then I reinstalled .NET Framework:

Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301

You may also read the following article:

Regards.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunatly we have never installed Net framework
before and there is no earlier version or part there of. It is a new
installation that fails Have you any further suggestions? Thank you again

Click to expand...

What version of the framework are you trying to install and on what OS?
Note that your problem has noting to do with mscoree, the installer simply
checks if there is one installed to verify it's version, the error you have
has nothing to do with this.

We have win 2000 and we have all current updates and we have tried
initially installing from Quickbooks 2005, then have tried installing
various versions including 1.0, 1.1 redist. All have the same results & the
log shows the same as listed in my first post. Thanks for the reply! I
would appreciate any further assistance you could provide.
 
We were finally able to fix this problem. It was a software conflict with
another program ("NCP-2000-XP" from Double Sight Co. and their PC Expanion
unit). Even doing a repair install of Win2k didn't help so we worked
backwards on software previously installed until the Netframework
installed. Thanks for the suggetions.
