download .Net framework directly from Microsoft via this page:

If you're are having installation issues with the .NET Framework 2.0, it's pretty easy. First, follow instructions on here: http://forums.msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/netfxbcl/thread/e40d80ca-6fe7-403d-b576-d6d72ef5e349 (http://forums.msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/netfxbcl/thread/e40d80ca-6fe7-403d-b576-d6d72ef5e349)
If the installation of 2.0 still fails, go to C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework and manually delete the folder that says "v2.0.50727". DO NOT DELETE OTHER VERSIONS OF THE FRAMEWORK. ONLY DELETE THE ONE THAT SAYS "v2.0.50727" Then, re-install the .NET Framework 2.0 from the Microsoft Download Center. it worked like a charm for me!
When you're installing the Framework, be sure to check if you're computer is a 32-bit or 64-bit before installing. The one that says (x86) is for 32-bit comps (like mine).
Outspark has been having network issues http://outspark.com/forums/showthread.php?t=104915 (http://outspark.com/forums/showthread.php?t=104915), but this was posted Aug 29, so I don't know if it has been resolved yet. If you successfully install it, but get this "Error: Fail to connet to Internet", then it's probably a network issue. I think they're having maintenance tonight, to try to resolve this issue. I hope it solves the problem.
You ain't the only one with problems. Alot of ppl have em too. The GMs are really busy cuz they've been bombarded with PMs and mails. Give em time to fix it.

The new server does say that it requires the newest micrsoft Framework 2.0 to work. Your safest bet is to go to microsoft website and look for a current software update of Microsoft framework.

Download SOS from here
http://www.download.com/Secret-of-th...-10779622.html (http://www.download.com/Secret-of-the-Solstice/3000-7541_4-10779622.html)
It's the older version, but it works just as well.

eduard_eric, that would mean that your computer only has net framework version 1 and 1.1. So, upgrade it to version 2 by downloading and installing the ver 2.
