Error occurred while initializing fusion

netwindows-server-2003

I'm getting an error when I try to install .NET 2.0 on my Server 2003 SP1;

Error 25007.Error occurred while initializing fusion.
Setup could not load fusion with LoadLibraryShim()

.NET-Framework 1.1 is already installed, is that the problem? I always thought you can just override any older installations of .NET

I experienced this problem and I tried each of the following. I'll start with the least intrusive solutions. You can try installing after each one:

Delete the folder: %windir%\WinSxS\Policies

[EDIT] This problem happened after I got a Windows Update for Visual Studio SP1. I uninstalled Visual Studio and reinstalled .NET 2.0 framework and everything worked properly.
