Apologies if this has been asked before but I can't find anything on this forum.
I'm trying to install .NET 2.0 on Windows XP Media Centre Edition 2005 so that I can install Visual Studio Express. I have downloaded and run dotnetfx.exe from Microsoft. It extracts the files and then just hangs. Not sure what is going on. I have an Inspiron 6000. I'm also running Panda Anitvirus which came with the machine. Has anyone come across this problem before?
I cannot be much help, but you are not alone. I have failed to get this update to install even on a virgin install of xp pro. Having searched the Microsoft message boards etc and tried all their remedies still no success. I might be contradicted but it appears to be a machine specific problem which looks like it will not be resolved anytime soon.
I did manage to get it installed. I re-installed Windows and installed it before anything else. I'd read somewhere that there were problems with certain antivirus software and it the antivirus software needed to be uninstalled, not merely disabled. Anyway, with a clean install it worked - very frustrating though...
