I'm trying to install the .Net framework 1.1 on Windows 2000 SP4,running an AMD Athlon 2800+. It drops out with a vague error message "cannot be installed on this platform". I checked the dotNetfx.log and came up with this

Unfortunately, the installer has wrongly detected your windows version to be 3.1 and hence popped up the message ERROR_INSTALL_PLATFORM_UNSUPPORTED 1633 which means "This installation package is not supported on this platform. Contact your application vendor.

You need to contact MS suppor

Here's a wild-ass guess - you've somehow enabled the application
compatibility stuff for a program called install.exe. I don't know the
details, but I've seen people do this before with generically named programs
such as setup.exe or install.exe.

Thanks for the advice, checked out the compatibility tool but Win 2k doesn't
allow you to access those settings by right clicking the program exe (as XP
does), it has to be done via apcompat.exe. Used that as well (as a long
shot) still didn't work. In the end I used a different "fix"

Uncompressed dotnetfx.exe and ran netfx.msi directly. Seemed to do the
trick!

Thank you for your answers, anyway!
