Media Center won't install .net framework, quicktime, acrobat reader
Hi my computer is a Dimension 9100. The bios is A03, cpu is a 3.4ghz 950D processor, western digital 250 gb harddrive, nvidea geforce gt7300. I installed windows media center from scratch from oem discs. When i try and install .net framework it fails with no error messages. when i try to install quicktime the same thing happens. when i try to install acrobat reader it fails with this error message. internal error 2203 c:\windows\installer\2a13733.msi, -2147287008. when i bought the media center from newegg i read several reviews saying there are key files missing i guess this is what they were talking about. also when trying to add some windows components i get the message saying cant find several different .msi files. they are on none of the three install disks, and i dont know what to do about the problem. I am the adminstrator so thats not the problem, i also had the most current version of windows installer 3.1 v2. to make sure it wasnt a problem with the program i reinstalled from microsoft.com. any help would realy be apprieciated.
Did you install your chipset drivers? Video drivers? Sound drivers?Get em here. Install the chipset driver first and reboot before installing other drivers
Here is the latest Windows installer package, install to see if it cures the problem, by the way have you done a windows update to get all the security updates and patches?
i tried all those steps before posting to the forum including the reinstallation but thanks for that anyways, im thinking the problem is that my c:\windows\installer folder is hidden and read-only but i dont know how to change these settings. I was able to install java by going into the folder and opening the package and it worked however i wasnt as lucky with acrobat quicktime or .net framework.
