Default Can't install .NET Framework

Have tried numerous times to install .NET Framework, both versions 1.1 and
2.0 and always get one or more errors. Even tried turning off anti-virus and
firewall - no help. Running WinXP Pro SP3. Any ideas?

For no known reasons, MS decided not to make NET modules cumulative.
This means (if you need this download aid) you must instal every single
module in sequence. My / Software / Installed list shows three separate
Service Packs (for NET 2.0, NET 3.0, NET 3.5) with 6 to 10 modules
each. Your fastest method may be to uninstal all, then start at the bottom
and download all in sequence (if you need this download aid.)

And which errors do you get, please?

rant
Why do people say "I get errors" and not say what the errors are? I
have never understood this very common tendency.

Surely it should be obvious that more information is better than
less. "I get errors" usually doesn't contain enough information for
anyone to diagnose the problem; the specific error messages
(particularly the first) usually will.

There were a succession of errors - enough that I just decided to abandon
the attempt. I cannot say if I got the same errors every time - just thought
I'd ask and see if there was an obvious solution. Thanks for replying.

Somewhere along the way I thought I remembered reading that the versions
weren't cumulative, but wasn't sure. Typically MS. Just curious - I need
version 1.1. Is there a version 1? Thanks for the reply.
