error during installation of .NET Framework 2

[associates]

Hi,

I was trying to install .NET framework 2 onto my PC. During the installation, i got an error that says

Error creating process <C:\DOCUME~1\User\LOCALS~1\Temp\IXP000.TMP\Install.exe
Reason: C:\WINDOWS\system32\advpack.dll

What i downloaded from the microsoft website was the file called NetFx64.exe

My PC is XP Pro ServicePack 2

Thank you in advance

This is wrong version. You're looking for x86 version. I'm even not sure, if XP takes version 2.
Why won't you use Windows updates to find out?

And the file seems to be AMD64

OK. Did you go to Windows Update, and it says, you have some updates missing?

From the DLoad page :

Overview
Important: The .NET Framework 2.0 (x64) redistributable package is now available here. The download on this page is an older version of the software and should only be downloaded under extenuating circumstances.

XP Professional x64 Edition and a supported 64-bit CPU. (Build 1184 or later)
• This framework is designed for the supported 64-bit Operating System. It contains both the 64-bit and 32-bit runtime in one convenient setup. For 32-bit operating systems, please click the related resource link for the 32-bit framework download page.

Are you running the 64Bit version of Windows ? ?
