I have created a GPO following the documentation othe MS site for
distributing the framework (1.0) via Active Directory and I am using it
to deploy to XP Pro with SP2 workstations. All are clean builds with
only the following apps installed Office 2003, Acrobat reader 7.0.7 and
ISA Firewall Client 2004 also deployed via GPO. Although the
application log says it has installed correctly I find several similar
warning items (about 20) in the application log:

Event Type:    Warning
Event Source:    MsiInstaller
Event Category:    None
Event ID:    1001
Date:        04/03/2006
Time:        16:46:42
User:        NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer:    HH-TERMINAL4
Description:
Detection of product '{B43357AA-3A6D-4D94-B56E-43C44D09E548}', feature
'Redist_Package' failed during request for component
'{FF7C971E-0163-4268-B599-AAB3D2A8C44E}'

In each case the product is the same although the component is
different. I was wondering if this is anything to be concerned about or
if I am getting the errors because IIS is not installed on the
workstations.

If I install using the redistribution package dotnetfx manually I don't
get any errors.

I have tried playing around with the installation order but without any
effect. All other apps install fine without errors. I am using RIS to
deploy the OS and all apps including the framework gets installed via
GPO at the end of the install. I am trying to avoid including anything
as part of the RIS image as we have different hardware on our PCs and I
am trying to keep images to a minimum.
