I am trying to open a vs.net 2002 app on a windows 2003 server. I have the app using version 1.0 of the framework, but whenever I try to run the project, or open if for that matter, I get a dialog box saying preparing to install...then another saying 'please wait while windows configures the .net framework. After those close another comes up and says 'The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.' and looks for this file:
C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\IXP000.TMP\netfx.msi
If I hit cancel, a messagebox appears saying 'No valid source could be found for product Microsoft .net framework the installer cannot continue.' Hitting cancel again starts the whole process over again!

I have tried reinstalling both versions of the framework, with 1.1, the installation says that it can't be installed on win2003 server, with the 1.0 version, I chose the repair option and it appeared to install successfully.

The application was originally developed on a win XP machine using vs.net 2002 and copied to the windows 2003 server.
Also, just tried to open the MS data access application blocks project, and the exact same thing happens.

What can I do to solve this?
Thanks - Greg
 
If you have virus stuff running - TURN IT OFF!!! McAfee will prevent you from ever installing dotnetfx!

Try turning of DTC..

Just a couple of finds from my school of hard knocks.. Good luck!
Report back if you figure it out..
