After I created setup in .NET 2005 (.NET Framework 2.0) and tried to install in windows with Service Pack 3 which has .NET framework 2.0 Service pack 1, .NET framework 3.0. It prompted me "Can I commit?" at the end of installation.

And It failed at the end with error code 29527

Anyone has any idea?

Have you installed the latest updates for VS .NET 2003? It could be a bug that's been fixed as of one of the service packs or updates to VS itself.

A: 

If you're using the Visual Studio Package tool you need to change. I never use the standard Visual Studio packaging wizard cause it's too clunky. It runs slow, and it's buggy.

I've been using Innosetup for creating setups since 2004 and it has served me very well. Even with .Net 3.5 it can detect whether it is installed and install it if it is not. In fact I wrote a small routine to reliably detect 3.5 (which Installshield wasn't doing) with Innosetup.

I seriously recommend u upgrade to a better installer that the standard tool.
