.Net framework 3.5 SP1 fails on WCF

  • Article

We had issues with the installation of .net framework 3.5 SP1. Gave the following error in the error log:

============================================================

[11/23/09,13:05:18] Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 SP2 x86: [2] Error: Installation failed for component Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 SP2 x86. MSI returned error code 1603

[11/23/09,13:05:23] WapUI: [2] DepCheck indicates Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 SP2 x86 is not installed.

===============================================================

To funnel down the issue, we downloaded and tried installing .net framework 3.0. It failed. Error log said the following:

===============================================================

23/09,14:05:31] Windows Presentation Foundation: [2] Error: Installation failed for component Windows Presentation Foundation. MSI returned error code 1603

[11/23/09,14:05:52] WapUI: [2] DepCheck indicates Windows Presentation Foundation is not installed.

Extracted .net framework 3.0 and installed Windows Presentation Foundation, it failed.

From the MSI log:

=====================================
