Yes, I would like to know a solution to this as well. I see that there is a DOTNETFX folder on CD1 but yet there is a netfx.cab on CD2 in the I386 folder in the netfx folder under the cmpnets folder. From what I hear, the one on CD2 is neccessary for MCE to install. I don't think the DOTNETFX folder on CD1 is needed. So, this brings me to what I was thinking. I used WinZip to extract the netfx1.cab from the .NET Framwork 1.1 setup file. I looked inside the netfx.cab file on CD2 and inside the netfx1.cab from the .NET Framwork 1.1 setup file. The netfx.cab file has a bunch of files in it. BUT, the netfx1.cab has the same files but they are all renamed. As if the setup file renames them while being installed. I don't know how we could do this, but this may be the answer. If anyone knows anything, please let us know.
