3.5 .net framework

[Guest Joel Pettigrew]

I have about 50 machines I am downloading the 3.5 framework on to. Half the

machines work fine, the others give me an error: "The Windows Installer

service is unavailable. Another application may be running setup. Finish

any instaltions in progress, or restart yur computer, and then re-run setup."

 

 

I have shut down the computer, installed windows services pack 3, followed

the instructions to reinstall the windows installer, checked active

applications running... and still I get the error.

 

Please help.

 

Thanks,

Joel Pettigrew

I have posted this a few times and its time sensitive at this point... If you

read this and even have a suggestion where I can find a solution, that would

be helpful as well.

Thanks,

Joel

After installing Service Pack 3, I installed Windows Installer 4.5

Previous version is Windows Installer 3.1

Does that help?
