.Net framework 3.5 Setup Error

Question

I want to install .NET Framework 3.5 on my computer, but I experienced a setup error after I have installed it.

How do I successfully install .NET Framework 3.5 without seeing a setup error at the end of the installation?

Thank you for any help.

Answer 1

Please provide the following:

1. What is your Windows version and service pack level?

2. Please provide complete install logs as follows:

Please collect your install logs with this:

After you run Collect.exe, you'll find vslogs.cab in your %temp% directory. Please upload vslogs.cab to a public site, like SkyDrive, and post the link here.

Hi pvdg42,

1. My Windows version is Windows 7 and I do not have any service packs installed at the moment.

2. For some reason, I could not submit my reply with the link to the vslogs.cab file on SkyDrive without getting an unexpected error message.

I do not know why this is so.

Could you please offer another solution that enables me to post a link to the vslogs.cab file on SkyDrive?

Maybe I could send you the link in a private message instead?

Thank you very much for your help.

Best regards,

Devmos

Hi pvdg42,

I'm trying to post the link to the vslogs.cab file on SkyDrive in a separate reply post, to avoid the unexpected error message.

Here it is:

No need for the logs. Your Windows version tells the story.

Windows 7 installs .NET Framework 2.0/3.0/3.5 through 3.5 SP1 as an integral part of the OS. Therefore, you cannot install 3.5 yourself on a Windows 7 system.

You will find .NET Framework 3.5.1 (i.e. 2.0/3.0/3.5) listed as a Windows Feature. Open Control Panel->Programs and Features, then click on Turn Windows features on and off.

Find Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1 in the features list. Expand the node and enable all subfeatures.
