ADE install failure: msi 3.1 required

[circleman]

hit a big snag with ADE, it needs dotnet framework 3.5, which requires MSI 3.1.

problem: when I try to install msi 3.1, I am told by my XPsp2 system that the msi3.1 install is not a win32 application.

looks like I am stuck. Cant install the installer to install dotnet to install ADE.

any ideas?

thx

I guess it might require XP SP3, but I would try to find another copy of the installer program and try that.

If you do a web search for this problem you will get several hits. It is Windows stuff, so I don't understand most of it...

Hope this helps,

tom,
looks like I am up a tree on this for a while.
I will hit the MS support site and find out what I can.
Appreciate your looking into it.

Thx
