vb.net upgrade: Hello
I am novice in VB.NET . I have developed a sample HelloWorld program and =
a setup application for it. VB.NET warned me that the client machine =
should install .NET Framework (DOTNETFX.EXE) in order to run the =
application. I tried it in my Windows ME and found a message "Setup =
cannot access Windows Installer components. Setup cannot continue." and =
it terminates. I can not run the setup application. I have found a log =
file in the Temp folder:

Isn't it that the receiving machine where you intend to install must =
have the right msi package installed?

If it is for Windows 95, 98 or ME =

And you found this on the machine you are trying to install the .msi? =
Perhaps you need to remove and re-install the latest version. Just a =
guess.
