dotnet setup : Service Pack 2 & Windows Update

Hello,

I have Windows 2003 Server with .Net Framework 1.1 installed (part of the
OS), and have used Windows Update to install the Service Pack 2 (the only
way you can install it). The install seems to go fine, but Windows Update
keeps telling me I need to install Service Pack 2. I have had this happen on
other computers. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm wondering if it is
installing it or not.

I am investigating this, as I am running into a problem installing the ASP
..Net Commerce Starter Kit, and found that the error I am running into was
fixed by re-installing the .Net Framework. The error is:

InstallUtilLib.dll:ClrCreateManagedInstance (hr=0x80070002): The system
cannot find the file specified

Problem: Windows 2003 Server will not let you uninstall or re-install the
framework, as it tells me it's built into the operating system, and all
updates need to be donw through Windows Update.

Help!

Hi,

There must be some confusion, because the SP2 currently available in
Windows Update is .NET Framework 1.0 and the version in WinSvr2003 is 1.1.
That leads me to believe you have .NET Fx 1.0 in your machine, installed
side by side with 1.1.
Note that if you go to Add Remove Programs you will only see 1.0, since 1.1
is part of the OS.

As for the SP2 not installing, here's what we need to investigate further:
1. Enable Windows Installer logging by adding the key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer]
"Debug"=dword:00000003
"Logging"="voicewarmup"

2. Install SP2
3. Go to the system temp directory %tmp% and reply to this thread with the
MSI****.log files attached.

To remove the Windows Installer logging, you can just delete those Debug
and Logging entries.

Thanks!
- Joao

Hello,

Yes, I apologize for my confusion regarding the SP2. I did not realize this
was for .Net 1.0 specifically, until looking at it further.

I checked in the Add or Remove Programs on the Win2k3 server, and it shows
Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1, and not 1.0, but I looked in the
WINNT/Microsoft.Net/Framework folder on the server, and it has both
v1.0.3705 and v1.1.4322 folders, so perhaps Windows Update is seeing the 1.0
folders, but it's somehow not installed anymore on the server, and that's
why Windows Update keeps showing that I need to install the SP2, even after
I install it.

I am guessing that the 1.0 was installed by installing Visual Studio .Net on
the Win2k3 machine?

I do not recall, but I may have uninstalled the 1.0 framework at some point
using Add or Remove Programs.

Do you think I should try re-instaling the 1.0 Framework using the Visual
Studio .Net installation?

I will make the registry changes you told me to make, and post the results
from the log file sometime today.

Thank you for your help!

Jonathan

Joao,

I was unsuccessful in getting the logging for Windows Update working...

There was already a key in my registry for
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer], so I did
the following:

Added a DWORD to it with the name Debug, and a HEX value of 0x00000003, then
added a string value named Logging, with a value of "voicewarmup", then
rebooted, and tried the Windows Update installation of .Net SP2.

I looked for the file, and did not find it, although I located several other
MS*.log files from when my .Net starter kits failed haha

Did I do the correct things to get logging turned on?

Thank you,

Jonathan
