Framework Won't Uninstall

Hi all-

I cannot get the .NET Framework SP2 to install, so I thought I would
uninstall and start over. However the uninstall fails with the message
"Microsoft .NET Framework Setup has failed. If this continues, please
contact Product Support."

I tried using the command line:
n:\<Installation Source>\dotnetfx.exe /t:%temp% /c:"msiexec.exe /fvecms
%temp%\netfx.msi"

to repair the installation, but that isn't working either. Does anyone have
any ideas, or know how to manually uninstall the Framework?

Thanks in advance,
Kendra

1. Delete following folders:

* C:\WINNT\assembly
* C:\WINNT\Microsoft .NET

2. Delete the following files (you may have to boot into safemode to do
this)

* C:\WINNT\System32\mscoree.dll
* C:\WINNT\System32\URTTemp\mscoree.dll

3. Delete the following registry keys (Start|Run... regedit):

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Integration]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework SDK]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup]

4. In C:\WinNT\Installer do the following (to see this folder you'll have
to make protected OS files/folders visible):

* Switch to Details view
* Right-click on the Name column header and choose Comments from the pop-up
list
* Find the .MSI file with the comment that says 'Microsoft .NET Framework
(English)...' and delete it

Note that SP2 is for the Framework version 1.0, it won't install on 1.1. Are
you sure you are running 1.0?
