See if the following MSKB article applies:
"You receive an "error 1603: A fatal error occurred during installation"
error message when you try to install a Windows Installer package"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/834484/en-us
Since the "InstallShield Engine" (not applicable) takes advantage of the
Windows Installer in some cases, this article may apply as well:
"Error 1603: Fatal Error During Installation"
http://consumer.installshield.com/kb.asp?id=Q111019
> My Add/Remove programs shows the following
> Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1
> Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Hotfix (KB886903)
> Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0
> Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0
That's okay. Besides, .NET Framework 3.5 has been released for WinXP as
well - it includes SP1 for .NET Framework 2.0 and 3.0.
> I am going to try to uninstall 3 and 2 and then reinstall to see if that works.
Yes, in exactly that order if the articles above do not help.
> Thanks again for your help.
You're certainly welcome.
