.NET 3.0 Failing to install on XP

Good morning, I dont know if this is the correct place to post this or not (the support link from the 3.0 download page brought me here), anyhow, the 3.0 install is failing on my XP workstation. Below are the relevant pieces of the install log.

HI,

Please refer to this page. It contains some issues on installing the .Net framework 3.0 RC. Also be sure that you met all of the minimum requirements (especially the XP SP2).

Hi,

No, you don't need to delete past versions of the .net framework (1.0,1.1,2.0). Though usually you do have to delete past beta versions of .Net framework 3.0 before installing your latest beta build of .net framework 3.0.

There is an update for the September CTP. Please read the release notes, and then try this version.

If this version fails, we can have you post additional logs.

I get the same error as the original poster, but with the .net 3.0 live install. I've tried the remedies suggested above. Any further suggestions?

After several attempts to find the root cause of the problem described here, Microsoft Technical Support and we performed the following.

Start->Run, type msconfig. Choose start the machine in diagnostics mode. Click on the Services tab and make sure that Windows Installer, Plug and Play and System Restore are all turned on. You will need these services to work in diagnostics mode to get the .Net Framework 3.0 installed.

Once the machine reboots in Diagnostic mode, install the .Net Framework 3.0 install file. When it is complete, go back to Start->Run, type msconfig. Put the reboot back into the default Startup mode. Your problem should be fixed.
