    I can't install this on my XP SP3 with .NET 3.5. It says a program (part of the setup) did not finish as expected and I should contact the package vendor. Anyone facing the same problem?

    Yes, I am having a similar problem running the XPS Viewer on Windows XP SP2 with .NET 3.5.

    I solved my problem by creating my own viewer in VS 2008. I used the Document Viewer and the following code below. The trick is to add a reference to the .NET 3.0 .dll for the system.windows.xps namespace called ReachFramework.dll located at C:Program FilesReference AssembliesMicrosoftFrameworkv3.0 Here is the code: string xpsFilename=@"C:<my xps document>.xps";                     System.Windows.Xps.Packaging.XpsDocument _xpsPackage; _xpsPackage = new System.Windows.Xps.Packaging.XpsDocument(xpsFilename,        FileAccess.Read, CompressionOption.NotCompressed); FixedDocumentSequence fixedDocumentSequence =        _xpsPackage.GetFixedDocumentSequence(); documentViewer1.Document =        fixedDocumentSequence as IDocumentPaginatorSource;

    How can I install the XPS viewer on Windows Server 2008 32 and 64-bit? The installer for Vista says the update does not apply to the system. HELP!

    I get the same issue as Derek installing on Windows Server 2008 x64. Due to Windows Server 2008's "enhanced security settings" in IE XPS documents don't work there by default so the XPS essentials pack would be really handy here......I guess PDF still works.

    Same problem here - XP SP3 with .net 3.5 - did not finish as expected.  Even on the third try, by which time you might have thought it would have expected not to finish ;-)

    This seems to be a very common problem: "Installation did not finish as expected and I should contact the package vendor" I've seen this problem over and over on several blogs, yet very few solutions. I have tied all the ones posted, but still get the same error. Does Microsoft (or anyone) have a fix for this that works? I have XP Pro with SP3. My last alternative (which I really don't want to do is to uninstall SP3. Has anyone done this yet? was it successful?

    Cannot install. error message way too vague to help debug, as usual with MS - looks like it is by design.
