Framework Install error
#1
Posted 07 October 2010 - 10:31 PM
Attempted to install 4.1 Framework and received fatal error 1324 "The Path Program Files contains an invalid character".
Now what do I do? I do have a screen shot of the error message! I have never had any problem installing anything on this computer. C# install went OK.
Any enlightenment will be appreciated.

Hi Vic,
Can you post the screenshot? Also, are you doing the default installation or did you give it a specific installation path?
Chris
Chris,
Thanks for the reply!
I was doing the default install.
I have attached the screen shot.

Hi Vic,
Out of curiosity, do you know the path to your Program Files directories (the regular and 32-bit ones--if you're running 64-bit Windows)?
I have pinged a member of the .NET MF team to help determine the best way to resolve this as well...
Chris
Chris,
I am not sure what you are asking here. My program files directory is on the system (F drive on my machine) drive and the path would be F:/Program Files. I am running 32 bit Windows XP
I appreciate the ping and I am looking forward to getting my problem fixed!

Hi Vic,
A request from the installer team... Are you familiar with running command-line programs? If so, can you switch to your installer directory and run the following two commands?
Msiexec /l* mylog.txt /i MicroFrameworkSDK.MSI
msiexec /liwearucmopvx! completelog.txt /i MicroFrameworkSDK.MSI
And then could you send the generated log files to me (or attach them here)?
If you're not familiar with the command-line, I'd be happy to give you a call and walk you through it. Unfortunately, there aren't too many ways to diagnose installer issues without generating logs and such...

Chris,
Again, Thanks for the reply.
I have attached a screen shot of the command line executions of echo %ProgramFiles%, requested by Pascal06, which verifies that the ProgramFiles folder location is F:/ProgramFiles and of the first execution of Msiexec. Because of the error message shown, I was reluctant to run the second execution. I hope that this helps.
I look forward to hearing from you again soon.

Vic,
Somehow an extra period snuck into your command-line there (MicroFramework.SDK.MSI <-- no period before SDK)... Could you remove the period and try again?
Thanks!
Chris
Chris,
No difference. I have included the new screenshot. I am not sure what I am doing here. The SDK is on my desktop. Will that make a difference? If so, where should it go?

Vic, copy the SDK to the directory that you're using (F:\Documents and Settings\Victor). Or change to the desktop directory where the SDK is at... Either way should be good.

Chris,
I navigated to F:\Documents and Settings\Victor\Desktop and ran MSIExec once again. This time the program started and then received the error as noted in the screen shot in the zip file attached here. A logfile mylog.txt was created and it is in the attached zip too!
I hope this helps.

Hi Vic,
Can you run the second command to generate the "complete log" too?
msiexec /liwearucmopvx! completelog.txt /i MicroFrameworkSDK.MSI
Thank you very much,
Chris
P.S. What is your H drive?
I have attached the screen shot and the error log. Are we getting any closer to a resolution? My H drive is for my significant other to use for her stuff. My hard drive it partitioned into F:, G: and H: where F: is the system drive.
