How do I install .NET framework 1.1 for Windows 7

Solution 1:

1. Create a new folder named DotNet in C:\ drive. (The path I used was C:\DotNet )
2. Make sure the setup file is saved as dotnetfx.exe.
3. Download Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 from the link below: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=a8f5654f-088e-40b2-bbdb-a83353618b38&displaylang=en Rename the file to dotnetfxsp1.exe.
4. Copy both installation files into the same directory (i.e. C:\DotNet),.
5. Open Command Prompt as Administrator.
6. Change to the directory where the two installation files are stored, ie C:\DotNet.

7. Run the following commands one by one.

   dotnetfx.exe /c:"msiexec.exe /a netfx.msi TARGETDIR=C:\DotNet"

   

   Click Yes and wait for this dialog which says installation complete.

   

   dotnetfxsp1.exe /Xp:C:\DotNet\netfxsp.msp

   msiexec.exe /a c:\DotNet\netfx.msi /p c:\DotNet\netfxsp.msp

   

   Wait for the installer to disappear automatically.

8. Install Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1 with slipstreamed Service Pack 1 by running netfx.msi from the working folder.

Extrakun,

I have used this to install it on one of my client Windows 7 machines. One (to which i couldn't actually view because i'm at work, however the URL seems about right) describes how to install the .NET FW 1.1 on Windows 7: http://saranspot.blogspot.com/2009/02/installing-dotnet-framework-11-on.html

Solution 3:

I had the same error. Solution is, when search for the command prompt, right click to the command prompt and choose run as administrator. The problem solved!
