    Error code 1603 while installling Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5

    There was something wrong going on with .Net Framework while using Visual Studio 2008 in my system because of which i uninstalled .Net Framework 2.0, 3.0, and 3.5 completely from my system. Now when i am trying to install the latest 3.5 framework then i am getting an error message saying:

    "[01/10/08,21:39:06] Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 'package': [2] Error:
    Installation failed for component Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 'package'. MSI
    returned error code 1603
    [01/10/08,21:39:21] WapUI: [2] DepCheck indicates Microsoft .NET Framework
    3.5 'package' is not installed."

    I dont know what that means, i want to know if i have to do anything different to install 3.5 framework?

    I think that you are not allowed to install 3.5 framework directly, in that case you can try reinstalling 2.0 first then 3.0 and finally 3.5. Just try installing it in this order and see if you are able to install it successfully. Just make sure that there are no left overs files related to framework in your system before reinstalling them. If you face any error then make a note of it and post it here as you did for further help.

    re: Error code 1603 while installling Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5

    That solution was incorrect!

    Use the Net Framework cleanup tool to remove ALL of the Net Framework versions. Then reinstall in this order: 3.5 Sp1 --> 1.1, ---> 1.1 Sp1.

    3.5 Sp1 will handle the 2.0 (if not on Vista where it is part of the OS) and 3.0 installs automatically.

    Probably a good idea to use the stand alone versions, rather than the "updates".

    This is directly from Microsoft. And they were ADAMANT that the reinstall order is critical.
