I have .NET 2.0 on a VISTA machine and am trying to install .NET 1.1

It is failing with the following error in Events Viewer:

Source: MsiInstaller
Event ID: 1030
Description:
Product: Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1. The application tried to install a
more recent version of the protected Windows file
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\sbs_wminet_utils.dll. You may need to
update your operating system for this application to work correctly.
(Package Version: 1.0.0.0, Operating System Protected Version: 1.0.0.0).

You shouldn't need to install the 1.1 framework on Vista as it already has
the 3.0(2.0 + extras) framework on it.
 
what if i want to continue developing a 1.1 application?!
VS2002 and VS2003 are completely unsupported on Vista.
VS2005 is sorta supported in that SP1 was largely designed to help with this
but can only help you write 2.0 applications out of the box.
VS2007(Orcas - Not yet released) is designed specifically for Vista and will
be able to specifically target 20,3.0 and 3.5 out of the box)

However, given enough memory, I've heard that running XP on a virtual machine
within vista works quite well. I understand that this is the best (and possibly
only) way to run previous versions of VS on Vista
 
1.1 application run fin on the latest frameworks...
they are backward compatible...

That's only sort of true. Visual Studio 2002/2003 are unsupported on
Vista, but you should still be able to run applications developed with them
on a Vista machine.

I have no concrete evidence but I would say yes.

I have previously run it in a virtual machine which was based on Server 2003
so I would think it does.

Well I'd have to counter that.

Some consider Vista a pain
Others consider it to require too much in the way of hardware to be worth
anything.
Some like it.

All are entitled to their opinion

But the truth is that it isn't going to go anywhere and to stick your head
in the sand and ignore it is not going to be a clever move for a developer
of any kind who works in the MS spaces.

I'm not trying to sugegst that Evan is about to do this and I appriciate
the need to continue programming in dotnet 1.1 as several companies (Mine
included ) have yet to actually make the jump to dotnet 2.0 or 3.0 (although
we are scheduled do that this month).

What I am going to do (as soon as funding permits) is to purchase the best
mahine available and run Vista.

On this machine I will
....run VS2005 + SP1
....run Orcas when it comes out
....run VS2003 in an XP VM for as long as I need to. (I have seen others manage
to do this very well indeed with no real loss of productivity)

.... and most importantly of all ...become familiar with the Vista environment
which as I said... isn't going to go anywhere.

I welcome any sensible comment on this but I do believe that it's the best
way forward ( assuming that those wishing to follow said plan can afford
to purchase a reasonable enough machine)
 
The problem is that we have apps in 1.1, 2.0. Some clients will not pay the
costs to move from 1.1 to 2.0 since for them they don't care!
In any case i will install XP as my normal PC and then try to use an
alternate PC to test VISTA till all works. I agree that VISTA is the way
forward... but it's still in the first stages, lots of missing drivers, etc!

Well, run VS2003 on an XP machine, then you can install it on Vista. You
can't run VS2003 on a Vista machine.
