cannot find .net framework directory: system error &H80131700&

[Vamsi]

Hi Guys,

I have installed Visual Studio.Net on my windows XP
machine.

First after installing all the required WCU, then
installed the Visual Studio.Net. All set up was completed
successfully. then when i try to create a Web Application
i get the error
"project 'ABC' could not be opened because the microsoft
visual basic .net compiler could not be created. please
re-install visual studio"

So i uninstall the entire setup and reinstall it again.
Now i get the error:
"project 'webapplication4' could not be opened because
the microsoft visual basic .net compiler could not be
created. cannot find .net framework directory: system
error &H80131700&"

Can you please assist with this and let me know how i
need to proceed further for a successful installation of
Visual Studio.Net 2003.

Appreciate your help on this!
Thanks,
Vamsi.

You might want to try a visual studio group? I don't know what this has to
do with active server pages...
