  .Net Framework 1.1 + service pack 1  

after many encounters with the problem of installing .Net framework 1.1 + SP1 on Vista, finally a workable solution, although i have no idea how it works. i suspect it just runs a different installation procedure. hell it works great.

Vista + Lord of the Rings Online installation = trouble.
if you are already aware of this problem, try to download .NET framework 1.1 and 1.1 SP1, install them first before even attempting lotro installation. might avoid complications and wasted time.

else:
1) download .net framework 1.1 redistribution package and 1.1 sp1 as usual
2) renamed them to be dotnetfx.exe (if different) and dotnetfxsp1.exe
3) go to command prompt (I escalated to administrative)
4) from the folder where you put the two exe files above,
do: dotnetfx.exe /c:"msiexec.exe /a netfx.msi TARGETDIR=c:\dotnet"
5) do: dotnetfxsp1.exe /Xp:c:\dotnet\netfxsp.msp
6) do: msiexec.exe /a c:\dotnet\netfx.msi /p c:\dotnet\netfxsp.msp
7) then just install using the netfx.msi

got it off lotro forum, which was from some website, i can't remember which coz i saved it as text file. just be sure to type it all correctly. involves Administrator command prompt in vista which needs to be specially opened.
