Possible workaround for RGB9RAST install failure when deploying the .NET Framework 3.0 or 3.5
I have heard from a few folks recently (such as this blog comment and this forum post ) who have run into troubles installing the RGB9RAST component that is a prerequisite for the .NET Framework 3.0, 3.0 SP1, 3.5 and 3.5 SP1 on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. There is a specific issue in the RGB9RAST .msi that can cause it to fail in some specific conditions, and I wanted to describe how to diagnose and work around this issue in case anyone else runs into a similar error in the future. How to diagnose this issue If you are encountering this particular RGB9RAST installation issue, you will see an error message like the following by searching for the string return value 3 in the verbose .msi log file for the RGB9RAST component (located at dd_rgb9rast*.txt): MSI (s) (6C:D0) [10:41:11:075]: Product: RGB9RAST — The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package.
