What's worse is if you can't install either the .Net Framework 1.1 or 3.0 so that you can install Sound Forge (on Vista Ultimate). Not sure what I'm doing wrong. If I do 1.1 I get this... Huh... well amazingly it's all of a sudden started installing correctly... Hrrmmm... and I've been trying this for the last hour! How weird is that... It did end up being the dotnetfx.exe file. (I think that is a larger/more complete file then what you generally download?). Oh well. I also went in to Turn windows features on and off and unchecked the 3.0 installation even though I don't think that had ever completed. It was saying a XP service pack needed to be installed. Now that 3.0 section is checked. Which I'm leaving as is.
