How to fix some 1935 errors with HRESULT 0x80070005 (access denied) when installing the .NET Framework

Article
08/17/2005

I was contacted by a customer this week who could not install the .NET Framework 1.1 due to a 1935 error that was not described in my previous blog posts (here and here for example). The exact error was the following:

MSI (s) (E0:80) [12:44:29:575]: Product: Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 -- Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.Vsa.Vb.CodeDOMProcessor, Version="7.0.5000.0", PublicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a", Culture="neutral", FileVersion="7.10.3052.4"'. Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x80070005. assembly interface: IAssemblyCacheItem, function: Commit, component: {7D4B5591-4C80-42BB-B0E5-F2C0CEE02C1A}

As I described here, the HRESULT value 0x80070005 means "access denied". Typically this happens due to a permission (ACL) problem on one of the directories under \windows\. But in this case, the customer tried to reset the permissions and re-run setup but got the same error.

I suggested looking at any anti-virus or anti-spyware software because they tend to lock down files and folders to prevent malicious programs from installing themselves, and it is very hard to detect the difference between a trusted setup program and a malicious one. The customer found that they had the Sophos anti-virus program installed. They were able to successfully install the .NET Framework 1.1 by stopping the Sophos service (sweepsrv.sys) and then running .NET Framework setup.

Note that in this type of scenario, you should be very careful when stopping anti-virus and anti-spyware software. What I typically do is the following:

Download the setup package I want to install
Disconnect from the network
Stop anti-virus and anti-spyware software
Install the software I downloaded in step 1
Restart anti-virus and anti-spyware software
Reconnect to the network

The Microsoft Indexing Service (cisvc.exe) is another program that will hold on to files. We found this out the "hard" way, too.

Hi Timmer545 - I'm very sorry for the hassles that this issue has caused for you. I'm not sure why this access denied error would be happening - I have installed the VC 2005 and 2008 redist on multiple Vista machines without any issues, so it is not something that happens on all systems. You should be able to find more information in c:windowslogscbscbs.log about this error. Hopefully there will be some information in there about the exact file, folder or registry value that these installers are not able to access. It might also help to try to use a tool like Process Monitor (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx) to try to narrow down what the source of the access denied error is as well. Finally, you may want to try to contact the Windows Vista SP1 support team at http://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?ln=en-us&prid=11274&gprid=500921. They are offering free support for SP1 installation issues, and it might help resolve this access denied error if you can narrow down the root cause of the Vista SP1 installation issue you ran into.

Hi Aaron, Just found out about your very helpful blog whil surfing on the net for some useful info. I've been having recurring problems with my mediacenter 2005 edition.First my tv-guide wouldn't load anymore, which isn't a big deal,but now I'm even unable to use live tv and recordings. According to some info I've found it would be a prob with the codec being in conflict with my NET Framework version 1.1. and the windows mediacenter 2005 rollup 2 update.Anyway I was adviced to un -and reinstall my codec which didn't work.Then they adviced me to un/reinstall the NET Frameworks on my PC(1.1,2,3...).I did but I'm not able to reinstall NET 1.1 redistributable and service pack and got the 1935 error.I tried all the steps on microsoft website with manual un/reinstallation of the NET Frameworks and with the clean up tool,but without succes. I'm pretty close to being a pc illiterate when it comes to these technical matters and although I'm the info you posted here is almost 100% sure to work,it's a bit too technical for me.If you could find a free minute,would you be willing to guide me through the process of fixing this error please?I read something about the 'Windows Installer verbose log' and 'the log file location' to diagnose the cause of a 1935 error.Can you tell me where exactly I can find these two? Thx in advance and sorry for the hassle. Grtz, Serge

Hi Saturn - There are a lot of possible causes for 1935 errors during .NET Framework setup. I'd suggest first trying to use the steps listed at http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2008/03/07/8108332.aspx to manually remove and then re-install the .NET Framework 1.1 and 1.1 SP1 (and 2.0 or higher if you choose to) and see if that helps resolve this issue. If that doesn't help, there is also information in that blog post about where to find log files from .NET Framework setup to help narrow down the cause further. Hopefully this helps.

Hi Stolkl - The error message that you are getting has a different HRESULT value than the one listed in this blog post. You are getting 0x80070017, which means that there is a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) error. This typically means that the file has been corrupted somehow. This could be caused by the file in your setup package being corrupted/damaged somehow, so you may want to try to re-download the .NET Framework 3.0 or 3.5 installation package to see if that helps resolve this issue. It could also mean that there is something wrong with your hard drive. It might help to try running the chkdsk.exe tool to see if it reports any issues on your system. Hopefully one of these helps.

astebner, I just ran chkdsk.exe and it seems that there are some errors in the hard drive; here are the results: C:>chkdsk.exe The type of the file system is NTFS. WARNING! F parameter not specified. Running CHKDSK in read-only mode. CHKDSK is verifying files (stage 1 of 3)... File record segment 25556 is unreadable. File record segment 25557 is unreadable. File record segment 25558 is unreadable. File record segment 25559 is unreadable. File verification completed. Errors found. CHKDSK cannot continue in read-only mode. What could I do to solve these problems? Thanks again, stolkl

Hi Stolkl - I don't have a ton of experience with ChkDsk, but when I ran chkdsk.exe /? on my system, it shows that there is a /f switch that allows you to attempt to fix any problems that it finds, and a /r switch that allows you to fix and attempt to recover the data on any bad sectors. I'd suggest trying one of those options to see if it helps here.

astebner, Finally! I was able to install .net Framework 3.0, all thanks to you! I tried everything possible and the solution was there in front of me. Really, I tried everything and the only simple think I had to do from the beginning was the one that actually fixed the problem with the installation. All I had to do was run chkdsk /F and chkdsk /R. you have no idea how much I appreciate your help and your time for all of us who have problems with these sort of installations and executing certain applications. All I can say is happy new year boddy! Thanks stolkl

Hi Stolkl - I'm really glad to hear that you were able to resolve this issue and get the .NET Framework installed on your system. I'm sorry that this type of troubleshooting tends to be difficult and that the installer presents cryptic errors in this type of scenario. Happy New Year to you as well!

Hi Adheald - I'd suggest trying the suggestions in the following 2 blog posts to see if either of them help in this scenario: blogs.msdn.com/.../9303167.aspx blogs.msdn.com/.../solving-setup-errors-by-using-the-subinacl-tool-to-repair-file-and-registry-permissions.aspx If neither of those help, then you may need to try to repair your OS to solve this type of error. You may also want to try to contact Microsoft Technical Support for more in-depth troubleshooting assistance. You can find their contact information at http://support.microsoft.com, and this type of setup problem should qualify for a free support case.

Hi, ive run into the same problem Stolkl had(error 0x80070017), and it really means problens with the disk. Ive detected a few bad sections on my disk and neither chckdsk /f or /r can fix then. But the system runs fine and i can't format the drive for awhile... i have solved a similar problem by renaming a corrupted file, and installing a new one... Is it possible to do the same with XNA? It gets the error during 'directx 9.0c runtime', problem is directX don't allows me to uninstall it, and repairs aren't solving the corrupted file. Any suggestions? Thanks for your time.

Hi Vincer - Error code 0x80070017 means ERROR_CRC, and you're correct that this type of error can be caused by hard drive problems. Are you getting that same error code from DirectX 9.0c setup? If so, instead of uninstalling, you could try to manually rename or delete the corrupt file and then re-run the DirectX 9.0c web installer from www.microsoft.com/.../details.aspx. Hopefully this will help.

Hi Tomastarkie - The error you are getting means ERROR_SXS_ASSEMBLY_NOT_FOUND (The referenced assembly is not installed on your system.) I'd suggest trying the following steps to see if they help resolve this error:

Install the latest Windows service pack.
Repair the files that are a part of Windows by using the steps listed at blogs.msdn.com/.../how-to-repair-the-net-framework-2-0-and-3-0-on-windows-vista.aspx.
Run the System Update Readiness tool using the steps described at the end of the blog post at blogs.msdn.com/.../9303167.aspx. Hopefully one of these will help.

Hello Aaron, I'm on Windows 7 64-bit and I have a longtime problem with C++ I recently finally managed to update my .NET Framework to 4.0 and that was a pain I can tell you, I had to run in Safe Mode, remove .dll registry links and delete it, all this through prompt command. Thing is I still get this error : Error1935.An error occured during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC90.ATL,version="9.0.21022.8",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b", processorArchitecture="amd64",type"win32".

Hi Rolland Haas - If a 1935 error occurs on Windows Vista or Windows 7, and the file that triggers the error is a Win32 assembly (like the VC++ runtime files), then the root cause lies with the OS installation engine and not the .NET Framework. Here is what I'd suggest that you try in this scenario:

Try the System Update Readiness Tool described at support.microsoft.com/.../947821
Try the OS repair steps described at blogs.msdn.com/.../how-to-repair-the-net-framework-2-0-and-3-0-on-windows-vista.aspx
Try to install the latest Windows service pack if you haven't yet (Windows 7 SP1 in your case). If none of the above help, then you might need to repair/re-install Windows to solve this type of error.

Hi Ralph Newbigin - For error code 0x800736FD, I suggest trying the following:

If you haven't yet, install the latest service pack for Windows. In your case, that would be Windows 7 SP1
If that doesn't help, then try the System Update Readiness Tool described at support.microsoft.com/.../947821.
If neither of those help, then I'd suggest either contacting Microsoft Technical Support for further help (using the contact information at http://support.microsoft.com), or try to repair/re-install Windows Hopefully one of these helps.

Hi Chuck - The above error means access is denied. That means that there is some kind of permission problem that is causing your computer to be unable to install the VC++ runtime files. Here are some things I typically suggest that people try when they run into this type of error:

Install the latest OS service pack if you haven't yet.
Try the System Update Readiness Tool described at support.microsoft.com/.../947821.
Try using a tool like the one described at blogs.msdn.com/.../solving-setup-errors-by-using-the-subinacl-tool-to-repair-file-and-registry-permissions.aspx to update the permissions on the computer. If none of the above help, then you might need to repair/re-install Windows to solve this type of problem.

Hi rigg4386 - Error code 0x8007007E means ERROR_MOD_NOT_FOUND (The specified module could not be found.) This means that there is some dependency missing from the PC where you're seeing this error. I'm not sure if the verbose MSI log file will list the exact module that it needs though. I'd suggest checking there first, and if it doesn't have any useful information, also check in the Application Event Log to see if any errors/warnings are logged there. If neither of those locations have any information about what is missing, you might need to use a tool like Process Monitor (technet.microsoft.com/.../bb896645.aspx) to narrow this down further.

  Hi Endrin Sa - 1935 errors for Win32 assemblies mean that there is something wrong with the Windows OS installation engine (because it is used behind the scenes to install the VC++ runtime files and other Win32 assemblies on those versions of Windows). Here are the steps that I suggest for this type of error:1. Install the latest Windows service pack and updates if you haven't yet.2. Try to run the System Update Readiness Tool from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821.3. Try to repair the files that are a part of your OS by using the steps listed at http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2007/03/26/how-to-repair-the-net-framework-2-0-and-3-0-on-windows-vista.aspx.If none of the above help, you might need to repair/re-install Windows to fix this type of error.
