Hi there.
When trying to install .NET Framework 2.0 in order to install SQL Express 2005, the PC freezes. So much so that I can do NOTHING on it and have to reboot manually.
I believe that Framework 3.5 has had problems, but I can't find any solution to getting 2.0 installed.
Please please please can some one help?

There are any number of things that could be wrong, not the least of which,
could be your PC's specs. There are no "problems" with either the 2.0 or
the 3.5 installations (actually 3.5 is really just 2.0 with extra libraries
added on).

You should check your installation log files as well as CPU and memory usage
during your install and, of course, make sure your system meets the
recommended installation requirements. In addition, if you had been using
any beta software, that should be uninstalled completely.

try to remove all framework versions and re-install them either from the
Windows CD, or by downloading the distributable.

If de-installation won't work, try the framework removal tool:

Hi Jo,

What spec is your machine? What version of Windows are you running? Is it
fully patched up to the latest service pack etc?

Try un-installing all versions of the framework. After that, I recommend
running the .NET Framework Cleanup tool and set it to remove all traces of
all versions.

Then use Windows Update to apply each successive version of the framework
and see if that works.

Regards,
Alex

Hi there guys.
Thank you each and every one for your response.
The PC Specs are as follows :
Celeron (R) (not entirely sure of the processor size)
1Gig RAM. XP Pro 2002 SP 3.
The client notified me that he has decided to format as the machine had loads of unused apps. and install Windows 7.
Thus, I will be going back shortly to perform all this.
Thanks again for your help.
Jo
