Failed to install MS .Net Framework 1.1 and #J.Net in prerequisite

I tried to install MS Visual Studio. Net 2003 student version but somehow it
always failed to install the prerequisite components which were the MS .Net
Framework 1.1 and MS #J. Net package. My computer is running WD XP SP1 (I
uninstall SP2 after the above failure) with Norton Anti-virus. I did disable
the script blocking and firewall but still the failure of error code 1603.
Any one knows how to fix this problem please help me. I spent many hours
unsuccessfully already.
Thank you,
K.

Hi Kuri,

I don't remember J# being a prerequisite for Visual Studio, but I might be
wrong. In any case I suspect Norton interfering far more than SP2 would.
Try to disable it completely before installing. You might also want to
try to install Framework 1.1 before installing Visual Studio (if you
haven't already)

Once framework is installed, you can also install J# using windows update.

Hi Morten,
Thank you for replying to my e-mail. As you said, I realized that I need to
install the MS.Net Framework 1.1 first but I couldn't even from Windows
update features. I did disable the Norton Antivirus program by disabled it
using msconfig. It looks like any Microsoft program will be blocked from
installing using WD installer as I could not install the orca.msi. At one
time I installed .Net Framework 1.1 using command:
d:\dotnetframework\dotnetfx.exe /t:%temp% /c:"msiexe.exe /fvecms
%temp%\netfx.msi", and the installation completed but no .Net Framework 1.1
showed in Control Panel\Add Remove program.
Any good way to install MS.Net Framework 1.1 successfully?
Thank you.

Hi Kuri,

It looks like your windows installer might be corrupt. Try to reinstall
it.
I'm not sure that is the cause, but if any programs using .msi fails it
would be a good place to start.

I don't know what windows version you are using, but I think this should
work for any windows xp and newer too. (untested)
