Hello Austin,

this bug is invalid (limitation by design).

The "System requirements" section, stating "...  Windows Vista Starter, Windows
Vista Ultimate, Windows XP, Windows XP Professional x64 Edition" is wrong.

Blog entry:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/smondal/archive/2009/10/21/this-setup-is-not-supported-on-64-bit-versions-of-windows-xp.aspx

".Net Framework MSI contains a launch condition that specifically blocks the
.NET Framework 1.1 from being allowed to install on 64-bit operating systems.
In this scenario we need to add a shim to newer 64-bit operating systems that
allows users to bypass that launch condition and install the .NET Framework
1.1."

The blog specifically talks about running the installer on "Windows 2003 x64
system" but the same applies for any 64-bit Windows variant.

Trace log:

--- snip ---
0024:trace:msi:ACTION_LaunchConditions Checking launch conditions
0024:trace:msi:MSI_DatabaseOpenViewW L"SELECT * FROM `LaunchCondition`"
0x33f0f0 
...
0024:trace:msi:MSI_EvaluateConditionW L"NOT (VersionNT64)"
...
0024:trace:msi:msi_get_property returning L"502" for property L"VersionNT64"
...
0024:trace:msi:MSI_EvaluateConditionW 0 <- L"NOT (VersionNT64)"
...
0024:trace:msi:MSI_FormatRecordW L"This setup is not supported on 64-bit
versions of Windows XP" 
--- snip ---

This is a standard MSI launch condition check to prevent installation on _any_
64-Bit Windows variant.

--- quote ---
"Not VersionNT64"

[ProductName] will only work on 32-bit versions of Windows.  Please run the
setup on 32-bit Windows. Setup will now exit.
