Dear Robin;
I event used the removal tool listed in this weblog
http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2006/05/30/611355.aspx to cleanup
v3.0 (not all Fx versions, only 3.0)
Still got the same error upon reinstalling 3.0 ( downloaded from Microsoft,
SFX setup v. 3.0.04506.30 )
Does this version install SP1 during the process as well?
I also found the following entries in the key "autorecover MOF's" in the
registry
C:\WINDOWS\MICROSOFT.NET\FRAMEWORK\V3.0\WINDOWS COMMUNICATION
FOUNDATION\SERVICEMODEL.MOF
along with many others.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Bill
