>>Hi Linda,

>>>I am trying to install MM .NET version 3.5 on Windows XP SP3. The GAC assemblies are not getting loaded into the Windows folder. I know I have had this trouble in the past but can't remember how I got around it. Any suggestions?

>>Is this the only thing not happening? Did the templates show up? You could try to run DEVENV /SETUP from a VS command prompt. If the assemblies not in the GAC is the only thing I suppose you could add them manually. I have found old assemblies in the GAC and removed them and then re-installed and had it work. Or you could just copy the assemblies into the GAC folder. There is a list of them in the Dev Guide under "Installing the Mere Mortals .NET Framework 2008"

>No, the templates are not installed either. That was why I went looking for the assemblies. I unstalled and reinstalled but that did not resolve the problem. I wonder if it is because I don't have a WINNT folder but a Windows folder.

I think you could manually copy the assemblies to the GAC and then run DEVENV /SETUP from a VS command prompt. I don't know why it isn't installing. For the sake of just getting it done, this is probably what I would do.
