vb.net will not install - help - help

[RLang]

I had installed vb.net 2003 on my xp sp2 computer and it seemed to work ok.
At some point it began to create
executables that would not run. No errors, but start the program's exe and
nothing happens.

I decided to uninstall VB.net which eventually worked. Then I tried to
reinstall which locks up 2/3 through the GENERATING INSTALL SCRIPT progress
bar. Microsoft is no help on this. Does anyone have a clue as to what is
going on and how to fix?

Almost everybody in this newsgroup is using VB6 or lower. While you may
get a stray answer to VB.NET (including VB2003 and VB2005 which has
dropped .NET from its name) questions here, you should ask them in
newsgroups devoted exclusively to .NET programming. Look for newsgroups
with either the word "dotnet" or "vsnet" in their name.

For the microsoft news server, try these newsgroups for Visual Basic
..NET related questions...

microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb.upgrade
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb.controls
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb.data

And these for more general .NET questions

microsoft.public.dotnet.general
microsoft.public.vsnet.general

Note: There are many other .NET newgroups (use the first three "fields"
from the last two as templates when searching for them), but the above
ones should get you started.
