Windows SDK Setup Wizard (.NET Framework 3.0) crash!?

i am having a problem installing the new .NET 3.0 SDK web install. I choose what options to install and it starts preparing but then i get a SDKSetup.exe crash (which is a downloaded file in my temp dir (I ran Setup.exe from my desktop).

EventType : clr20r3 P1 : sdksetup.exe P2 : 6.0.0.0 P3 : 4546a930
P4 : sdksetup P5 : 6.0.0.0 P6 : 4546a930 P7 : b6 P8 : 22
P9 : system.nullreferenceexception

A problem occurred while installing selected Windows SDK components.

[SDKSetup:Error] Config_Products_Install: Windows SDK Setup (failed)

Click the View Log button to review the installation log.

To exit, click Finish.

the log says:

2:17:39 PM Saturday, November 25, 2006: [SDKSetup:Error] File failed to download -

but thats just because SDKSetup crashed i think...

does anyone have any ideas do you think i might have better luck with the iso instead of web install thanks

I would suggest trying the ISO install just in case.

Here are some more details and possible solutions to some errors

If it is this download you are trying to install the DVD ISO image ahmedilyas suggest (I guess) is available here

Direct (might not work)

i wish there was a torrent for this huge iso... sucks to download 700 megs and then fail a couple times...

try using a download manager that supports resuming. Something like maybe Go!Zilla (I dunno, don't use it but remember something about it like 5 years ago)

try using getRight download manager .. it works excellent.

Last I checked Go!Zilla came with adware.

The free downloadmanager is what I use and its really free.
