I am trying to install .NET Framework 1.1 on Windows 7 machine.
I get the following error: "An error occurred while Windows Installer was initializing. Setup will close now"
Can someone help me with resolving this error and getting the framework installed.

No i don't have a problem with the residing installation of .Net. There is an older program that is written using the .NET 1.1.4322 framework. I tried to install that version on Windows 7 and i got the error i posted.
When i checked the Programs and Features - Uninstall or change a program I dont see any >NET framwork installed (unless it is called something else in Windows 7).

MoreThanDoubled--I am not sure v 1.1 will run on Win7. But there is no harm in trying to install from the Distributable

All,
I really need to SOLID answer to my questions.
1. Can .NET framwork 1.1 be installed on Windows 7
2. If yes, then what does this error mean: get the following error: "An error occurred while Windows Installer was initializing. Setup will close now"
I am in the middle of testing on windows 7 and can't get this VB app installed because it requires framework 1.1.

It worked.
MoreThanDoubled--You are most welcome.
If you're unsure as to if .Net is installed you can check through Programs and Features or use the verification tool.
