Reinstallation of Windows Server Administration Consoles Fails

[wgblaw]

We were having issues with the Admin Consoles and tried to reinstall them. The OS is Windows SBS 2003 R2 SP1. The following is the error log. Please let me know if there is any other information that would aid with finding a solution to these issues. Not sure I've ever seen the words "failed" and "error" used so many times in one report.

Looking at your log file, it seems that the error that is being getting generated is mainly due to .Net Framework. According to me, I think that the dilemma is ASP.NET being version 2.0. Have you installed .NET (any version) on your server? If you are having it installed, so you can try uninstalling it (for troubleshooting purpose) and then check your Admin Consoles. I think that doing this will help you.
