can't install .NET 1.1 in Win7 64bit

[Ambulance]

Hey guys,

yesterday I installed a 46bit version of Win7 in order to be able to use all of my 6GB RAM.
However I"m unable to install .NET 1.1. I always get the following error:

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.

I tried to slipstream .NET 1.1 SP1 into .NET Framework setup package to have a integrated .NET Framework 1.1 SP1 installer, as it was suggested here:
http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/12/27/install-microsoft-net-framework-11-on-windows-vista-fix-regsvcsexe-fails-error/
but no luck.

Anyone else experiencing similar issues? Any idea how to fix this? I'd really love to keep my 64 bit version of Win7, and it sucks playing DDO on my laptop all the time... :(

I tried searching the forums as well, but seen nobody saying sth about 64bit Windows, so, I thought it might be the cause of the trouble.

No really helpful hints from MS either, only the slipstream method, which didn't work for me :-(

Hey guys,

Well Ther's yer problem! Yer missin' som bits! :p

Kidding. Have you already tried installing the game? I built a new PC based on Win 7 64 bit home edition, ran Windows Update, and downloaded/installed DDO and it never gave me any issues about .NET. I never installed it.

I recommend you just install it from Microsoft.com and see if that works:

Aye, the game is installed. And yes, that's what I did already, downloaded that one and tried to install it. That's where I get the error popping up

Same problem here, but for some odd reason only on one of my computers. Both are Win7 64bit.

I had similar problem with installing it on Vista 64-bit yesterday. It turned out to be my custom file manager I used to launch the installer (dotnetfx.exe). When I launched it directly from Windows Explorer on an administrator account it finally installed fine. Unfortunately I was still unable to make DDO work, it hangs after logging in when it attempted to switch the resolution and display the splash screen. I only tried it to see DX10 so no biggie and just went back to my normal system (XP).

thanks for trying to help guys. I got it running now after I reinstalled Win7 from scratch. the .NET 1.1 slipstream method worked perfectly and DDO is runng :D
