Vista:Error while installing .NET Framework 1.1

[Adonis]

Need some urgent help from you all guys. i bought a Vista Computer couple of weeks ago. Well i know Vista comes with Framework 2.0 and 3.0 but i need to install Framework 1.1 as there are some applications in Vista which need it like InstallShield 11.5, QuickBooks 7, etc.. While installing Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1, i get an error saying,'RegSvcs.exe - Common Language Runtime Debugging Services.Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.
Process id=0xe50 (3664), Thread id=0xd44 (3396).'

How fix this error ? Please help.

There are still a lot of popular applications insisting that Net 1.1 is installed during setup, otherwise the application will simply fail to work properly or simply refuse to install at all.It may affect both 32-bit and 64-bit Vista system, but not all system will have the issue. This error is an issue in the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 installation which is known to occur on Windows Vista. But fortunately Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 SP1 (Service Pack 1) has resolved the issue. However, Microsoft does not provide download to standalone .NET Framework 1.1 installer that integrated with SP1.

So the fix for this error is to install both the .NET Framework and the Service Pack at the same time.

Download Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Redistributable Package

Download Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1

you can follow this steps to install .NET Framework and the Service Pack at the same time:-

1. First download and rename the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Redistributable Package to dotnetfx.exe

2. Now download Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 and rename it to dotnetfxsp1.exe and save both installations in the same directory.

3. Now open the command prompt with administrator rights and Change to the directory where the two installation setup files for .NET 1.1 are saved.

4. Run the following commands using this order and press Enter after each one;

• dotnetfx.exe /c:”msiexec.exe /a netfx.msi TARGETDIR=C:\dotnet”
  
  
• dotnetfxsp1.exe /Xp:C:\dotnet\netfxsp.msp
  
  
• msiexec.exe /a c:\dotnet\netfx.msi /p c:\dotnet\netfxsp.msp

5. Wait for Windows Installer for Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 to finish and disappear automatically.

6. Install both Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1 and Service Pack 1 by running C:\dotnet\netfx.msi

Thats it !!

RegSvcs.exe Fails error pops up in the end of .NET Framework 1.1 setup when it’s almost finished, and is registering “System.EnterpriseServices.dll” when the error occurs, time remaining for the installatin process shows 0 seconds. The primary focus of Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 (SP1) is improved security. In addition, the service pack includes roll-ups of all reported customer issues found after the release of the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1. Of particular note, SP1 provides better support for consuming WSDL documents, Data Execution prevention and protection from security issues such as buffer overruns.
