cannot fix .NET cuz install source is not available

[Guest totoro]

is there a way to find out where the original location for the installation

of .NET 2?

My .NET 2 is broken, I have tried procedures detailed in KB 908077 but

cannot repair, reinstalled or uninstall .NET 2 because I always run into the

same message:

 

The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the

source exists and that you can access it.

 

I inherited this system, and .NET has been around for years. is there a way

to find out where it was originally installed from? this is a 2003 SMall

Business Server.

 

any help is deeply appreciated. thanks in advance.

Hi - you can download and install the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility, if

you're very very careful. Then reinstall .NET. That said, since you're using

SBS, I suggest you post in m.p.windows.server.sbs instead of the 'regular'

groups, as SBS does many things differently and you should ensure you're

getting the most relevant advice.
