Workaround

The issue is because we evaluate the .NET support feature during the MSP and do not attempt to install that feature if it isn’t already installed. if you omit the patch on the command line, the feature is installed by the MSI and then you can patch it later. There are two ways to work around this issue. 1. Break the batch file into two commandsa. Install 9.3.1b. Then patch it – two steps2. Or you can use the command you are already using to install them both in one fell swoop IF you create the following registry key before you run the command:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ESRI\ArcInfo\Desktop\8.0\.NET SupportValue data = TRUE
