.NET Framework 3.0 setup log files

  • Artigo

The installer for the .NET Framework 3.0 (formerly named the WinFX runtime components) chains several different MSIs and Windows hotfixes behind the scenes.  If this setup fails, there are numerous possible causes due to the number of packages being chained behind the scenes.

The following is a complete list of log files that can be produced during .NET Framework 3.0 setup.  This list may vary depending on what OS you are installing on, what processor architecture, and what prerequisite components were already installed on the system prior to running .NET Framework 3.0 setup.

Logs produced by the .NET Framework 3.0 setup wrapper

  • dd_dotnetfx3install.txt
  • dd_dotnetfx3error.txt
  • dd_depcheckdotnetfx30.txt

Logs produced by packages chained during .NET Framework 3.0 setup

  • RGB Rasterizer - dd_rgb_retMSI*.txt
  • MSXML 6.0 Parser - dd_msxml_retMSI*.txt
  • WIC - dd_WIC.txt
  • .NET Framework 2.0 - dd_netfx_retMSI*.txt
  • XPS - dd_XPS.txt
  • Windows Communication Foundation - dd_wcf_retMSI*.txt and dd_wcf_retCA*.txt
  • Windows Presentation Foundation - dd_wpf_retMSI*.txt
  • Windows Workflow Foundation - dd_WF_3.0_x86retMSI*.txt
  • Core .NET Framework 3.0 identity package - vsmsilog*.txt

Logs produced by the .NET Framework 3.0 language pack setup wrapper

  • dd_dotnetfx3lperror.txt
  • dd_dotnetfx3lpinstall.txt 

Logs produced by packages chained during .NET Framework 3.0 language pack setup

  • Individual .NET Framework 2.0 language pack MSIs - dd_netfx_retMSI_langpack*.txt
  • Individual .NET Framework 3.0 language pack MSIs - vsmsilog*.txt

Log files will be located in the %temp% directory on the system during installation.  When setup completes successfully, the logs produced by the setup wrapper and the log file named vsmsilog*.txt are moved to a new folder located at %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\<product name>\Logs.  The <product name> will be Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 or one of the language packs (for example - Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 x64 Language Pack - FRA).

If you run into any issues while installing the .NET Framework 3.0 and report issues to Microsoft via the product feedback site or the MSDN Forums, please locate and include any of the above log files if possible because it will make it easier for us to debug the failures and find root causes and workarounds.

<update date="11/9/2006"> Added a list of log files for .NET Framework 3.0 language packs and a couple of other log files that I missed originally. Also added locations where the logs can be found. </update>

    Hello Aaron, based on your descriptions of the log files created during .NET 3.0 setup, can one safely assume that the .NET 2.0 framework is included in the .NET 3.0 setup and installed as well. If that's the case, some of our deployment scenarios would become much easier.

    Hi Martin - Yes, if the .NET Framework 2.0 is not already installed on the system, .NET Framework 3.0 setup will automatically install it for you.

    I'm getting a WPF install failure when I try to install .Net Framework 3.0 The error returned is 1612.

    Hi Bsaucer - Error code 1612 means "The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it."  I'd suggest using the steps listed at http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2005/10/30/487096.aspx to make sure that you don't have any products named Windows Presentation Foundation installed on your system, and if you do, remove them using those steps. After that, please try to download the full installer package for the .NET Framework 3.0 from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=70848 (for x86) or http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=70849 (for x64) and try to run setup again and see if that resolves this issue.

    Hi SBobcat - There is a list of known installation issues for the .NET Framework 3.0 in the release notes at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsvista/bb188202.aspx.  You may want to check to see if you see any workarounds there that help resolve this issue on your system. If those workarounds don't help, can you please zip and send me the .NET Framework 3.0 setup log files from your system (listed above in this blog post), and also send me the text of any errors/warnings in the application event log that are logged by .NET Framework 3.0 setup so I can see if I can figure out any additional suggestions?  You can send the logs to Aaron.Stebner (at) microsoft (dot) com.

    Hi Chasnoff - The error code you're getting (2103) means that Windows Installer is having trouble resolving one of the Windows shell folder locations using the information in your registry.  Can you please send me the full log file from this failing install so I can take a further look and try to suggest a solution?  You can send the log to Aaron.Stebner (at) microsoft (dot) com.

Hi Chasnoff - The error code you're getting (2103) means that Windows Installer is having trouble resolving one of the Windows shell folder locations using the information in your registry.  Can you please send me the full log file from this failing install so I can take a further look and try to suggest a solution?  You can send the log to Aaron.Stebner (at) microsoft (dot) com.

    Hi Aaron, I try to install .net framework 3.0 on my computer with Windows XP SP3. However, I kept getting this error message: [04/15/10,16:30:58] setup.exe: [2] ISetupComponent::Pre/Post/Install() failed in ISetupManager::InternalInstallManager() with HRESULT -2147023293. I have uninstalled 2.0 and reinstalled it again before installed 3.0. But it did not work. What could the reason be? Thank you

    Hi Jourseph - Can you please use the tool described at http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2007/11/21/6458047.aspx to gather your .NET Framework setup log files, post them on a file server such as http://skydrive.live.com and then reply here with a link so I can download the logs and take a look to see if I can figure out what is causing this error? Also, I would suggest trying to install the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=AB99342F-5D1A-413D-8319-81DA479AB0D7 instead of the .NET Framework 3.0.  3.5 SP1 will install 2.0 SP2 and 3.0 SP2 behind the scenes, and it contains setup bug fixes that can allow setup to succeed in some cases where 3.0 setup would otherwise fail.

    Hi Nenad - I'm sorry for the hassles that this issue is causing for you.  This blog post is pretty old, and since then, there has been a tool created that will automatically gather your .NET Framework setup log files so that you don't have to go find them yourself.  You can find more information about that tool at blogs.msdn.com/.../6458047.aspx.  If you're running into a .NET Framework setup error on your computer, can you please use that tool to gather your log files, post the file named %temp%vslogs.cab that will be created by that tool to a file server such as http://skydrive.live.com, and then reply back here and post a link that I can use to download your log files and investigate further?

    Hi Ziaulla - This type of error typically means that there is something wrong with the version of the .NET Framework 2.0 on your computer.  I'd suggest that you try to repair the .NET Framework 2.0 and see if that resolves this error.  If not, then you may need to uninstall + re-install the .NET Framework 3.5, 3.0 and 2.0 using steps like the ones at blogs.msdn.com/.../8108332.aspx. Hopefully one of these suggestions helps in your scenario.
