When I try to install the Group Policy Management Console I am told I need
..NET Framework. When I try to install it from

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

I get an error message saying "An error occurred while Windows INstaller was
initializing. Setup will now close."

Windows Installer has worked for anything else. Any ideas? Do I need a
specific version of these tools for x64?

I believe I have version 2.0 of .NET x64 installed. So the problem is more
with the Group Policy Management tool.

And uninstall the beta if you already have that installed.
