I am trying to install VS 2005 and everytime it attempts to install the .NET
Framework 2.0 it locks up my machine. I have tried to install the framework
alone (after downloading from the MS website) and it locks up my machine (I
need to power down to restart) at the same point every time. The last thing
I see on my screen is
"C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\ngen.exe install
"System.Drawing.Design, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" /NoDependencies /nologo;81920"

If I look at the log the last entry is:
01/22/06 09:27:31 DDSet_Status: Running Command Line:
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\ngen.exe install

I have tried every thing I can find to get this to install, any ideas?

Jack

When I run "ngen /delete mscorlib.dll" I get:
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727>ngen /delete mscorlib.dll

The mscorlib files that exist are:

And, if I run the command install command manually I get the following:

Hi Jack,

According to the installation log, looks like the problem is on ngen
mscorlib.

I just wonder if you have ever installed any previous beta version on this
machine? If so, probably it's not uninstalled properly. Please go to
Add/Remove Programs to verify if a pre version exists. If so, please
uninstall it.

Another way is you can manually run:

ngen /delete mscorlib.dll

in C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\ directory to delete the
native image of mscorlib if any corrupt data already exists.

By the way, have you tested to standalone install the framework 2.0 before
run VS2005 setup?

Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package (x86)

Thanks.

Hi Jack,

Please make sure .net fx 2.0 is uninstalled in Add/Remove programs. Then
please open a command line:

cd to C:\WINDOWS\assembly\NativeImages_v2.0.50727_32\ directory.

If mscorlib\<token> directory still exists, please manually delete it.
After that, you can reinstall Framework 2.0 to test.

Thanks.

Okay, I installed/uninstalled but no luck.

Then Windows began to become unstable and ended up swapping processors, I
took out an Anthlon 64 3000+ and replaced it with a Sempron 2800 and VS
installed.

Jack
