Hi,
I am trying to install the web setup project on a Windows 2008 server with IIS 7. However, it dies at the first step with the error "The installer was interrupted before could be installed."
I tried installing with logging enabled and the log files have an error message like below.

.NET 3.5 is indeed installed on the machine and the app works when I deploy using XCopy.
I have searched the internet for this error and have found that installing the IIS 6 Compatibility resolves the issue. Though, I don't want to install IIS 6 metabase compatibility. I rebuilt the set up with lauch condition as IIS >=7 and in X64 mode. But to no avail.
Could you please help me on this?
Thanks, Krantz
