Install Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 on Windows Vista – Fix RegSvcs.exe Fails Error
Windows Vista and Windows 7 comes packaged with Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 and 3.0, but not version 1.1, which may still required by some applications such as QuickBooks 7, GFI Report Packs, VS.NET 2003, InstallShield 11.5, and many other developed software. However, when trying to install Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 (dotnetfx.exe) on Windows Vista or Windows 7, one or more error messages similar to one of the following text will appear, and stop or prevent setup installation of .NET Framework 1.1 from continuing successfully.
RegSvcs.exe – Common Language Runtime Debugging Services
Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.
Process id=0xe50 (3664), Thread id=0xd44 (3396).Click OK to terminate the application.
Click CANCEL to debug the application.
If user click “OK’, the installation of .NET 1.1 will be cancelled, while clicking “CANCEL” produces another error message similar to below:
RegSvcs.exe – No debugger found
Registered JIT debugger is not available. An attempt to launch a JIT debugger with the following command resulted in an error code of 0×2 (s). Please check computer settings.
cardbg.exe !a 9×8e
In Even Viewer of Vista or Windows 7, the following log or similar can be seen:
Source: MsiInstaller
Event ID: 1030
Description:
Product: Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1. The application tried to install a more recent version of the protected Windows file C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\sbs_wminet_utils.dll. You may need to update your operating system for this application to work correctly. (Package Version: 1.0.0.0, Operating System Protected Version: 1.0.0.0).
Source: MsiInstaller
Event ID: 1030
Description:
Product: Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1. The application tried to install a more recent version of the protected Windows file C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\sbs_system.enterpriseservices.dll. You may need to update your operating system for this application to work correctly. (Package Version: 1.0.0.0, Operating System Protected Version: 1.0.0.0).
The error pops up in the end of .NET Framework 1.1 setup when it’s almost finished, and is registering “System.EnterpriseServices.dll” when the error occurs, time remaining for the installatin process shows 0 seconds.
Why exactly the error occurs when installing Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 in Windows Vista or Windows 7 is not known, as the issue happens randomly. It may affect both 32-bit and 64-bit Vista or Windows 7 system, but not all system will have the issue. But one thing is for sure. Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 SP1 (Service Pack 1) has resolved the issue. However, Microsoft does not provide download to standalone .NET Framework 1.1 installer that integrated with SP1.
Thus, the workaround to fix the Microsoft.NET Framework 1.1. installation error on Vista is to slipstream .NET Framework 1.1 SP1 into .NET Framework 1.1 installer, so that both the .NET Framework and the Service Pack can be installed at the same time.
To slipstream .NET 1.1 SP1 into .NET Framework setup package to have a integrated .NET Framework 1.1 SP1 installer, follow steps in this trick:
- Create a new folder named DotNet in C:\ drive (C:\DotNet is used in this guide, you can change to any folder you prefer, but ensure that you use correct path in the following steps).
- Download Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Redistributable Package (dotnetfx.exe). Make sure the setup file is saved as dotnetfx.exe.
- Download Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 (NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe). Make sure that the file is renamed and saved as dotnetfxsp1.exe, so that the rest of the steps can be followed easily.
- Move both installation files into the same directory (i.e. C:\DotNet), if you’re not saving them together.
- Open command prompt as Administrator.
- Change to the directory where the two installation setup files for .NET 1.1 are saved (i.e. C:\DotNet).
- Run the following commands one by one, press Enter after each one.
dotnetfx.exe /c:"msiexec.exe /a netfx.msi TARGETDIR=C:\DotNet"If you’re not using C:\DotNet directory, change the target to your path accordingly.
Then click on “Yes” when prompted to answer “would you like to install Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1. Package?”Wait for the uncompression, extraction and setup to complete with the display of the following dialog which says installation complete.
dotnetfxsp1.exe /Xp:C:\DotNet\netfxsp.mspNo status message for this step.
msiexec.exe /a c:\DotNet\netfx.msi /p c:\DotNet\netfxsp.msp
Wait for Windows Installer for Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 to finish and disappear automatically.
- Install Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1 with slipstreamed/integrated Service Pack 1 by running netfx.msi created in the working folder.

The last command does not work.
It tells me the following:
“This patch package could not be opened.
Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package.”
I’m not computer illiterate, I know that I’m doing everything correctly.
Still for some reason I can’t figure this out.
I extracted both executables to see if I could find “netfxsp.msp”, but it doesn’t exist.
Perhaps this could be the culprit?
I’d be grateful if someone with a greater knowledge could share their thoughts.
November 23rd, 2009 14:01
Hi, the commands work fine and all, but when it comes to running netfx.msi it rolls back at the end anyway so I am kinda stuck at the moment…

Thanks for this guide! Has saved me quite a few times already.
October 17th, 2009 10:53
I used this on Windows 7.
To change the directory in cmd: c:\DotNet
After running the commands given above, go into your DotNet folder located in C:/ and run netfx which is the installer application you just created.
Finally! It took me 6 hours to figure this out.
October 14th, 2009 21:35
you sir are all sorts of awesome! thanks for this!
October 6th, 2009 14:03
Well I’ve tried many solutions and I finally tried yours, unfortunately, still nothing works. I can’t get .net framework 1.1 to install. I’m using Vista Home Premium, 32bit.
October 5th, 2009 17:36
Awsome, thank for the fix. Now I can use my outdated software that comes with my Omron BP monitor and pedometer… Hoo-rah!
October 3rd, 2009 01:31
It shows errors in the form of compatibility warnings in Windows 7 64bit but seems to still allow the required application to operate, but it might effect some services associated with IIS on the box (according to the warning) The application I was running works like a charm now. I’m curious now if once the new MSI is created it’s portable so you don’t have to redo this and can just make this a part of an install procedure for workstations that require the old .net version.

September 12th, 2009 15:11
Linda G. and Brighid,
use “cd C:\DotNet” (not counting the “). The directory should switch to C:\DotNet.
Hope this helps!
September 10th, 2009 02:35
This has me crying, I’m so frustrated. I’ve done what you say – multiple times. It will not respond! I keep getting the same error that it doesn’t work with a 64bit system. At the admin/command prompt, it tells me the commands aren’t valid (I’ve used every version of these commands, including just trying to put in C:\ and it won’t even validate that).
Like Linda G.

Please help me! I got down to downloading the two programs as instructed in your tutorial, but when I get to inputting the command prompts I can’t do it! I can’t get rid of the “>” that’s after my name to input the path. It won’t let me delete what’s automatically there and I can’t change it at all!

Scratch that, after spending the whole day trying to figure it out, i realized that whole string of commands is really one command. i just got confused when it said, Type Enter after each of these commands. It worked brilliantly . Thank you
August 12th, 2009 17:26
Let me just clarify on the previous thread. i cannot get these commands to work. i do not understand them.
/c:”msiexec.exe /a netfx.msi TARGETDIR=C:\DotNet”
August 12th, 2009 17:22
I could not get the commands to work. All i got to work was the first command which is dotnetfx.exe which just opens the installer and brings me back to square 1 where i get the unhandeld exception error. I do not know what im doing wrong im following the instructions but i cannot get the rest of the commands to work in the first set . Can i get some help please? ive been cracking my head open trying to solve this ridiculous problem just to get a software running.
August 12th, 2009 04:10
Thank you very much. This is perfect.
August 10th, 2009 04:54
i cant get it ur commands…its not working.
August 7th, 2009 00:20
@Dillon, just add the directory C:\DotNet in the windows Path. go to it through the vista control panel -> search for system path and edit the system environment variables and click on advanced and add it into the Path variable…did the trick for me.
August 7th, 2009 00:16
Perfect!
August 6th, 2009 21:28
I need help! When I type in the cmd
i get dotnextfx.exe is not regonized as a internal or external command, or recognizable program or batch file.

I think I got it to install OK, but still can’t get the update Windows wants to install.
Which is what got me started here in the first place.

April 25th, 2009 10:40
This is no doubt great, too bad I can’t get it to work correctly. Like another poster in these comments, I wanted to get this to work because Lord of the Rings Online demands it. I’m running Vista 64-bit.
I got through the initial steps, but once I hit the second command in Step 7, nothing happens. I think the NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe package isn’t compatible with a 64-bit OS, as nothing happens when I try to run it like a normal application and I can’t even get the command list for it if I do a /? in the command prompt.
Microsoft’s site claims this package is supported by Vista 64, but I’m not sure if I can trust that. Is there some other file I could try using as a replacement or some alternative method?
If anyone can help, it would be appreciated.
April 23rd, 2009 12:09
thank you for your help. its been great help for me.
April 18th, 2009 18:58
I assume that the command:
dotnetfxsp1.exe /Xp:C:\DotNet
\netfxsp.msp
by default should be
NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe /Xp:C:\DotNet
\netfxsp.msp

@Kev
i got the same problem. i was able to solve it by following instructions AS IS except for the very first step which says: “(C:\DotNet is used in this guide, you can change to any folder you prefer, but ensure that you use correct path in the following steps).”
at first i used a different directory, followed the file naming, but still got stuck on the 3rd command in step 7. then i used the exact folder name as stated (c:\DotNet) and it worked.
March 14th, 2009 07:59
thanks a lot. This method works like a charm.

Well – I have not been as lucky as others on this slipstream trick …
When I get to the command:
dotnetfxsp1.exe /Xp:C:\DotNet\netfxsp.msp
I get the following error:
“The upgrade cannot be installed by the Windows Installer Service because the program to be upgrade may be missing, or the upgrade may be a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade.”
I get the above error whether I add the /Xp: switch or not which leads me to think that the dotnetfxsp1.exe is not even looking for a switch – it’s just tryig to install.
I’ve followed the direcions (up to this point) to a tee. What am I doing wrong?
# rob
I have the same problem as keith and tried it using the vista business (KB929729) mentioned later. Sorry Keith. Maybe a year late but is there any difference in what’s needed between different brands. I’m using Ultimate, I thought it was more compatible with business, and I have SP1 installed. Any help? Plus, I messed up and completely manually deleted all of my other “nets” and can get the damned things to reinstall. Any help for 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5 would be well appreciated. I keep getting a NGEN problem.
January 17th, 2009 03:05

January 15th, 2009 22:17

Thanks for the post! This worked like a charm. I am running Vista Business and also had another .NET 1.1 patch that was giving me problems (KB929729), so I just followed your instructions and also slipstreamed that update with 1.1 and 1.1 SP1, and it worked. Thanks a bunch!
December 30th, 2008 23:14

what do u mean when u say
Change to the directory where the two installation setup files for .NET 1.1 are saved (i.e. C:\DotNet).

make sure you copy paste it as one

Bk Sharma,
What u can do is, download the entire files needed, and save it to your “C:\” folder, and run the command
C:\DotNet\msiexec.exe /a c:\netfx.msi /p c:\netfxsp.msp’
May 31st, 2008 16:25
when i press dotnetfx.exe and press enter then it comes it is not the external and internal command.batch file
so please help me in downloading the dotnetfx 1.1
May 21st, 2008 18:32
Sir,
I have failed in completing the trick. On running the last command under instruction no. 7 the following message is appearing:-
“Window cannot find ‘C:\DotNet\msiexec.exe /a c:\DotNet\netfx.msi /p c:\DotNet\netfxsp.msp’
Please help me as soon as possible. I will be very grateful to you.

April 24th, 2008 18:01
I am indeed grateful for the solution. It worked without a hitch.
I do not know why Microsoft is suddenly abandoning .NET framework1.1 like a hot potato when it is prepared to support VB6- a much earlier product.
Thanks once again

I don’t seem to be able to do it. After typing the first command, I pressed enter and it wrote: “dotnetfx.exe is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file”.

I’m getting the exact same problem as Keiths.
I have no idea why it won’t work.
The reason it’s gone is i had a problem with Lord of the Rings online, and someone said to uninstall and then reinstall .NET framework 1.1, so when i uninstalled it i can’t seem to reinstall it.
I’m using Vista Home Premium (32 bit) if it makes any difference.

I have install both the file to download Net Framwork 1.1 i.e. dotnetfx.exe & dotnetfxsp1.exe, i have also follow up steps but i can not install Net Framwork 1.1 on my Vista base software.

Check your path?

Well – I have not been as lucky as others on this slipstream trick …
When I get to the command:
dotnetfxsp1.exe /Xp:C:\DotNet\netfxsp.msp
I get the following error:
“The upgrade cannot be installed by the Windows Installer Service because the program to be upgrade may be missing, or the upgrade may be a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade.”
I get the above error whether I add the /Xp: switch or not which leads me to think that the dotnetfxsp1.exe is not even looking for a switch – it’s just tryig to install.
I’ve followed the direcions (up to this point) to a tee. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the fix/workaround.
Had tried on several occassions to install .net1.1 (dotnet1.1) to vista with no success.
After the failed attempts, had problems such as:
.net aleady installed
patch could not be installed by windows intaller
etc.
also I could not find .net in ‘control panel/programs and features’ to un-install/remove it for a clean install.
in the end – i cleared the c:\dotnet directory which had been created by previous attempts
downloaded the redistributable from the link above, also the sp1, and tried again.
it worked.
good luck to all else who pass this way.
