Hi matt, after removing all framework (2, 3, 3.5), follow these steps: 1. click on the start menu, choose run, type msconfig and click ok. 2. in the system configuration tool, click on the services tab. The .net framework 3.5 can fail to install on a system where msxml is not properly registered. there is a custom action that runs during .net framework 3.5 setup that tries to use some apis in msxml to modify some information in the web_mediumtrust.config file that is a part of the .net framework 2.0.. I am unable to sucessfully load the net framewok 3.5 sp1. i have verified that net framework 2.0 is loaded but not framework 2.0a. are these service packages the same? [03/13/10,21:27:40] microsoft.
