I am using XP pro ver 2002 with SP2 (Japanese ver), intel pentium 1.8 GHz 256 MB RAM.
I was trying to install Visual Studio .NET and you need to have certain programmes before you can install it. I have the prerequisites Cd with me but I am having trouble while trying to install

dotNetFramework\dotnetfx.exe
and
dotNetFramework\langpack.exe

the error messege shows Installation of Windows Installer components failed. <-- (translation from http://www.microsoft.com/japan/msdn/librar...netfxref1_1.asp )

Does anyone know how to solve it or know any forums that may help me to solve this problem? I have search through google and it seems that there were not many forum about this installation problems.

note: Every programme including OS are in Japanese...

I don't have any experience with international versions of the OS or IDE. However, you should be able to grab those specific components straight off MSDN.

I have no idea what the error is, because the link that mentions your error is in Japanese.

In my version of VS .NET I have 5 cds, the 5th of which is the component CD.

dotNetFramework\dotnetfx.exe is the Microsoft .NET Framework you can find the install logs at Documents and Settings\UserName\Local Settings\Temp\dotNetfx.log and netfx.log to see if it lists the problem with that file there. The langpack.exe speaks for itself...

Here is a link that may help you troubleshoot the install:

Thanks for the fast reply Infinite... This is my first post in programmng forum and this is the only forum that reply my question. Below are parts of those log files.

I think it is caused by the problem to connect to the server because I am using the LAN in my hostel. I will try it again tomorrow in my lab. Will post again after that. However waht does UI means?

By the way, the error 1601 means that either the access to windows installer failed or windows installer are not installed correctly. <<--- translate from Japanese though :rolleyes:

How can I correct it or reinstall it? Do I need to connect to the internet to be able to use it? Does using LAN will effect it as my college server blocked quite some ports.

UI is user interface.

The likely problem here is that you are trying to install it over a network or you are not using an Administrator account to install. Have you tried installing from straight CDs? Also, make sure your user account has the privelege for the install.

If Windows Installer's screwed, try uninstalling SP2.

SP2 is known to cause a lot of grief for XP users... definitely could be a factor.

Worked for me, but that was a beta version. It also fixed my cousin's version of Windows Installer - he managed to break it before he got SP2.

SP2 screwed my comp over, so now it's running slackware 10.
