windows installer/net framework problems
Win Me "out of the box" includes the Windows Installer 2.0. On attempting
to install Windows Installer 2.0 on a Win Me system I get the error message "The specified service already exists" I've just tested this on a clean "out of the box" installation of Win Me. After testing this I was able to install .Net Framework 2.0 which is then listed in Add/Remove programs as ".Net Framework 2.0" MSCoree.dll is part of the .NET Framework. Installing .Net 2.0 installs mscoree.dll v2.0.50727.42 dated 23 Sept 2005. Update 823599. Alas the link to the Win Me version of this patch towards the bottom of the associated KB article KB823599 "MS03-023: Buffer overrun in the HTML converter could allow code execution" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=823559) takes you to the Windows Update site rather than linking to the Download Centre. I see the patch listed there but only after upgrading to IE6 SP1. "823559: Security Update for Microsoft Windows Download size: 305 KB, 1 minute An identified security issue in Microsoft Windows could allow an attacker to compromise a Microsoft Windows-based system and then take a variety of actions. For example, an attacker could execute code on the system. By installing this update, you can help protect your computer. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer." This particular update is one of the few that show in Win Me's Add/Remove Programs where it is listed as "Windows Millennium Edition Q823559 Update. This update is not required for the installation of .Net Framework 2.0 As I suspect you know little or nothing of the online history of the system between the day it was first used and your purchase this month I would VERY strongly urge you to wipe the hard drive and clean install Win Me. This is much easier than trying to fix a PC with many years of unknown history. -- Mike Maltby blues music fan wrote: Compaq Presario ms w ME v 4.90.3000 5WV280 128 mb of ram 900 mhz Amd Athlon processor 30gb hd with 23 gb free IE 6 SP1 plus internet tools F sys 32 bit when i use Belarc advisor it says that i have windows installer msiexe.exe modified in 2002 (i just picked up this pc in aug 2009) it also says i need to reinstall UPDQ823559.which i tried and it does not seem be there. when i go to download most programs,( examples- RaydarSync, or filehippo updater, or openwith.org etc etc.) they first say that i need netframework two, the program then asks to download it and it cannot because it says that i need the prerequisite ms wiindow install 2.0 (Instmsi.exe). i also get the message that i am missing DLL file MSCOREE.DLL. i have been to ms download sites for the installer, the update and the net frame work a zillion times, they are not lisred in add/remove and i do not know how to find them or open them if they are in my system somewhere. i am frustrated and need help straightening all of this out. i do not know if i should try AAron Stebner's net framework set up verification tools etc and or the windows installer clean up utility or both or not ?????????????? please help !!!!! |

IIRC, installing the .NET Framework requires the Installer 2 redist update?
http://www.microsoft.com/DownLoads/d...displaylang=en Note that the installer is named InstMsiA.exe - there is also one named InstMsiW.exe which is for NT-based systems. Having said that, Mike is quite right to suggest that you reformat and reinstall the OS - you never know what 'goodies' the previous users may have left behind! -- Noel Paton CrashFixPC Nil Carborundum Illegitemi www.crashfixpc.co.uk "blues music fan" wrote in message ...

windows installer/net framework problems
Noel,
I found I didn't have to update the windows installer on a clean Win Me install to be able to install the .Net 2.0 Framework. Attempting to do install using the downloaded InstMsiA.exe gave the error message "The specified service already exists". I can't help but wonder what goodies and nasties are lurking on a system of that age especially so given the problems reported. I know that I wouldn't want it attached to my LAN until I was really sure that it was perfectly clean. -- Mike Noel Paton wrote: IIRC, installing the .NET Framework requires the Installer 2 redist update? http://www.microsoft.com/DownLoads/d...displaylang=en Note that the installer is named InstMsiA.exe - there is also one named InstMsiW.exe which is for NT-based systems.

thanks Mike and i know that you mean well, but 1: i bought this at a garage
sale real cheap and did not get an ME installation disc. 2: i have an xp upstairs 3: i am just learning how to repair, adjust,and try new things sooooooooooo i thought that it would be easier to work with one that had problems than to screw up one that did not. if i fail on this one it won't matter to much because i have another to rely on. i am afraid to try things on my other pc. could you give me one more explanation about my last question concerning raydar sync? i'll only bother you about my xp in the future. thanks "Mike M" wrote: what i can try???? As has already been strongly recommended. Wipe the box and reinstall the OS. Until you do so you are simply wasting your time trying to work with a damaged installation where you know nothing of its history. Wiping and reinstalling and updating Win Me should take a couple of hours at most. -- Mike Maltby blues music fan wrote: hellooooooooooo .......... maybe down the road i will learn how to wipe this out and update it to xp, but i can play at pogo, send/recieve email, search these great forums etc.................that said ......when i went to download raydarsync (hoping to improve drivers software etc), this message came back: C:\\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.5072\msco rwks.dll could not be loaded. in my file search i found two listed: mscorwks.dll c windows system\u 2002 and MSCORWKS.DLL c w \microsoft ne 2004 please help me understand why these two listed are not functioning or what i can try???? thanks for all of your suggestions so far.......... |

I'm sorry but you don't appear to understand why I have written what I have.
There is something very wrong with your system and the quickest, surest and safest way of continuing is to wipe the system and clean install. You have no idea of what the system may have been used for for the last eight or nine years nor which of countless possible root kits (rare on 9x systems thankfully), trojans or other malware it might be harbouring. I'm sorry to appear so negative but a time comes for all systems when it is best to start again and with a PC bought at a garage sale that is the minute you get the PC home. My approach would be slightly different if the machine had been used by you or family member and contained personally valuable pictures or other documents as the priority would be to recover those documents. You say you have no media. That doesn't necessarily mean that you cannot reinstall Win Me. Check if you have a C:\Windows\Options\Cabs or C:\Windows\Options\Install folder that contains approx 150-160MB of files including a number of files with a CAB extension (BASE2.CAB, CATALOG.CAB, DRIVERn.CAB x3, WIN_nn.CAB x16) plus various other files (some added when installing updates) and most importantly setup.exe. If so then these are all you need to reinstall Win Me together with a valid product key which if not on a label stuck to the PC should be able to be recovered from the registry using Regedit. Using Regedit browse to the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion and in the right hand pane you should find a value labelled "ProductKey". The data for this value is what you need. Noel Paton has a site that gives further advice on reinstalling Win Me over itself which might help (http://www.crashfixpc.co.uk/ME_Gen/r...er_itself.htm). Whilst reinstalling Win Me over itself is not as good as flattening and starting again it should help fix your problems. Remember to note and act on Noel's comments about renaming wmploc.dll if WMP has been upgraded and to uninstall IE6 if installed before attempting to reinstall Win Me. -- Mike Maltby blues music fan wrote: thanks Mike and i know that you mean well, but 1: i bought this at a garage sale real cheap and did not get an ME installation disc. 2: i have an xp upstairs 3: i am just learning how to repair, adjust,and try new things sooooooooooo i thought that it would be easier to work with one that had problems than to screw up one that did not. if i fail on this one it won't matter to much because i have another to rely on. i am afraid to try things on my other pc. could you give me one more explanation about my last question concerning raydar sync? i'll only bother you about my xp in the future. thanks |
