I recently encountered a. NET Framework setup problem that is not described in my previously published. NET Framework hotfix/service pack troubleshooting guide while doing some testing for the upcoming version of Windows Media Center. I installed a computer with Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, the. NET Framework 1.1 and. NET Framework hotfix 886904 ( MS05-004). Then I went to Windows Update and found that it detected that I needed to install the. NET Framework 1.1 SP1 and it classified this as a high-priority update. When I tried to install it from Windows Update, it failed for me with a generic “installation failed” error message. Of course, being the setup geek that I am, I wanted to figure out what was happening behind the scenes. So I downloaded the setup package for the. NET Framework 1.1 SP1 from this location and ran it with full UI (instead of letting Windows Update run it for me in silent mode). When I did this, I saw this error message: This error message started me on the right track to find the solution to my problem. I decided to check in Add or Remove Programs first to see if there were any hotfixes for. NET Framework 1.1 listed, and I found one named Microsoft. NET Framework 1.1 hotfix ( KB886904). Once I uninstalled that hotfix and rebooted, I was able to return to Windows Update and successfully install the. NET Framework 1.1 SP1. Ordinarily. NET Framework service packs have logic built into their setup packages to automatically uninstall hotfixes and then apply the SP. That was not possible in this scenario because the fix for MS05-004 was not included in. NET Framework 1.1 SP1. The underlying security vulnerability was found after. NET 1.1 SP1 was tested and signed off on within Microsoft but before it went live on Windows Update. Since. NET 1.1 SP1 did not have this fix, it did not have knowledge of the hotfix package for MS05-004.
Issue: When installing your Autodesk product, the installation fails immediately and the screen indicates that Installation complete. Some products failed to install. The link to the installation log file in your % TEMP% location shows that the failure is due to a prerequisite installer similar to this entry below: Install Microsoft Visual C+ 2010 Redistributable (x86) Failed Installation aborted, Result=1603 Subseqent attempts to install the product yield similar failures. Solution 1: In some rare instances, the prerequisite cannot installed until the workstation is rebooted, or cannot be installed by the Autodesk installer and must be installed manually from the media or by downloading the prerequisite directly from Microsoft's website. For more information about this solution, please visit this Autodesk KB link: 2: In most instances, the installation fails because the prerequisite already installed on the workstation is newer than the one supplied by the Autodesk installer. Because Windows will not allow an older version of the prerequisite to be installed, the installation aborts with a 1603 error in the installation log file. The most direct method to resolve this issue is to remove the installed prerequisite from Windows from within the Control Panel. You can launch the Control Panel directly from the Start Menu or from the Run box by typing CONTROL and clicking OK. To remove a program in Control Panel choose: Windows XP: Add/ Remove Programs Windows 7: Programs and Features Locate the program name of the prerequisite that is failing in your log file from within this list and click Remove or Uninstall. This will remove the program from your computer. Once the program has been removed, run your Autodesk installer again. If you run into additional failures on.
