XPS Essentials Pack Installation Errors
I'm running Windows XP SP 3 and trying to install XPSEP XP and Server 2003
32 bit.msi from Microsoft. It gets too a certain point during the installation and popups with a message "There is a problem with the Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact yoru support personnel or package vendor" I was wondering if anybody was encountering this error? I thought it had something to do with have .NET Framework 3 but I just tried installing on a machine with only version 2 and it still gave the same message. Hoping somebody might have an idea why? Thanks.

XPS Essentials Pack Installation Errors
XPS Essentials Pack isn't currently supported on XP SP3 - see
http://blogs.msdn.com/xps/archive/20...ws-xp-sp3.aspx Note: if you already have .Net 3x installed, you have XPS creation and viewing already.

XPS Essentials Pack Installation Errors
I work with Cameron Shaw. On the Windows XP SP3 workstations we have, if
one double clicks a file with the .xps extension, one gets a message box that says: "The beta period has expired for the XML Paper Specification Viewer." The .Net Framework 3.0 SP1 and .Net Framework 3.5 are both installed on these workstations. So, how do we fix this problem? -- Bruce Sanderson http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/ It's perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.

XPS Essentials Pack Installation Errors
Sounds like you installed a pre-release beta version of the XPS Essentials
Pack which has now expired. You need to install either the essentials pack by downloading a final release install (www.microsoft.com/xps) or .Net, not both. Since you have .Net installed already I suspect that the machine has a default XPS association to the expired Essentials Pack beta - if you select open with (right click on the icon) you should see 'XPS Viewer' and 'XPS Viewer EP'. If that's the problem, then you can switch the default. "Bruce Sanderson" wrote: I work with Cameron Shaw.

That appeared to work. We were opening the XPS Sample documents provided my
Microsoft. Some of the documents still wouldn't open is that normal? "adrian ford [msft]" wrote in message ...

XPS Essentials Pack Installation Errors
Hi Cameron, if you're using the samples in SampleXpsDocuments_1_0.xps then
this is expected. From the readme: "We've also created some documents that are intended to fail, violating at least one conformance rule." /adrian "Cameron Shaw" wrote: That appeared to work.
