I need .Net Framework 1.1 to run ArcGIS. For some reason the installer will not work but .Net 2.0 did just fine. I get the following error Error 1606. Could not access network location \\.PSF\.Home\Documents\. Any ideas????
Why are you running XP Pro SP1? That version has so many bugs. That's why SP2 was such a major upgrade and fixed all the issues with SP1. SP1 is not really supported by Microsoft as well. If you call with issues and they hear you say SP1 they'll tell you first to apply SP2 and then call back.
Make sure you disable all types of sharing between the OS X and windows before trying to install .Net 1.1. It tries to write some stuff in your home directory, and since this one is redirected right now to your OS X home directory, the installer fails. If you have no sharing whatsoever enabled in Parallel while you do the install, it'll work.
No, You don't need to turn coherence off while doing this. But you will have to turn off your virtual machine while doing the install, because you cannot change those shared values while the VM is running.
Misunderstanding. To disable all sharing, you have to turn off your VM so you can modify the preferences of that VM. Then you can start it up and do the install. If you need to share, then you can stop it again and restart the sharing. If the VM totally unloads once you shut it down, you can press the command (apple) key while clicking on your windows XP VM machine to start it in edit mode.
Which Parallels version/build are you running? I can't get ArcGIS to run under any Parallels 3.x build, including the latest beta...
If you don't mind, what was the sequence of your successful install? ArcGIS first, then .Net, then Direct X, or do .Net and Direct X before ArcGIS? It seems whatever I do, ArcGIS installer will hang after the second start up attempt... Thanks!
You must have all the updates done before you install ArcGIS. In my case .Net would not install until the network was disabled then all went fine. Ted
