The .NET Framework 3.5 installation fails for me. Right after the
"Downloading components" stage, it sits for a few seconds on "Setup
has finished downloading components, you can now disconnect from the
Internet" and then it starts to roll back. I'm using XP SP2. A glance
in the log files shows that it seems related to MSI error code 1603.

Things I have tried:

- reinstalling SP2
- uninstalling and reinstalling every .NET Framework version before
3.5 with all service packs

Per Aaron Stebner's WebLog, I tried to enable verbose MSI logging, but
even so the logs didn't really enlighten me.

Here are all the files from my temp folder generated during setup:

Hopefully someone with some time and experience in the field can give
me a few hints or things to try.
Thanks!

You might try this as an alternative:

Go here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...n#Instructions

Scroll down to Instructions and click on the link to download the
redistributable package instead of the bootstrapper, then try the install
from your local hard drive.
