Hello:

I have downloaded and was trying to install the Salford free FTN95 compiler on my machine. It's giving an error installation error:

Internal error 2908
{ A323C27-3059-4D22-93E2-BCF22F3060B9}

Eeror: 1935 : An error occurred during the installation of assembly.


This is for with .NET 2002 & 2003 and w/o .NET . Can anyone throw light on this isuue? Where is the error?

This error has been seen in the past when users have tried to install the .NET components of FTN95, without having the .NET Framework installed previously. Could you please clarify if you have the .NET framework SDK installed? (If Visual Studio .NET 2003 is installed then the framework will be already installed). The error is being thrown when the installer tries to place assembly files into the Global Assembly Cache (GAC). It is probably a good idea to inspect the contents of your GAC to ensure it looks healthy. You can view the contents by browsing to WindowsAssembly, where a shell extension will kick in. You should check that you have no other instances of ftn95lib in your GAC and if so remove them before installing the release of the compiler you have. If you cannot get full access via the shell extension then a .NET utility called gacutil.exe can be used to inspect the cache.

It is also possible that this issue is caused by a corrupt .NET framework installation and this would have to be repaired in order to move forward. There are several topics that can be found on this subject, one possible solution is found here:

You should also check that the .NET Framework installation is up to date.

It is possible to install FTN95 without .NET components by deselecting this component in the list of components presented to you at install time.

Hope some of this helps.
