I just ran the beta 1 cleanup utility, and it came up with an error. I manually removed vb2005 and then .net 2.0 beta.
Now, when i run the setup for beta 2 vb2005, it just sits at the gathering informatin window once the progress bar gets to 100.
I have waited for a while and it still does not proceed.
I have a fast pc if it makes a difference.
Oh yeah, it does this for every .net language i try to install, vb, C#, ...
Come on, 22 views and NO replies? Suggestions? Other places to look for help?
Then, i installed the .net 2.0 sdk beta 2, same error.
Then, just to make sure, i dowloaded the Windows Installer 3, same error.
Finally, i downloaded the image file of the install, extracted it, and then ran it, same error.
Because it stops at the same "Setup is loaing installation components, this may take a minute or two" for every language i try to install, this must be an issue with the .net framework.
I still can't think of what it would be though...
Sorry to hear you have problem of installing. Could you tell me how you install? e.g. location, which file did you run etc.
MSI3.0 or Framework should be installed by the setup program and I don't quite understand you realized you need to install them manually.
Do you see any error in log dd_vsinstall*.txt (in the %temp% directory). If so, could you paste a couple of line of the logs?

Well, i was just trying stuff out.
What temp directory? The one in System32 or User Accounts or another?
