.Netframework 3.5 installation nightmare

To start I'm running Vista 32bit Home Premium... why I have no service packs I don't know because trusted installer runs daily and I always install the updates that it downloads.

Anyways, my problems all started when windows live messenger gave me an error about a side-by-side configuration thingie... this is that error:

Microsoft.VC90.CRT,processorArchitecture="x86",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="9.0.21022.8" could not be found.

So I said "okay.. I'll try and fix this," so I googled it and my searches led me to believe that this was a visual C++ error. Visual C had something to do with visual studio I later found out. So I tried going to control panel/uninstall programs and "repair" it. That didn't alleviate it. I tried uninstalling 2008 studio and reinstalling it... that didn't work either and it also turned me onto yet another error... a .networkframe error. 3.5 would NOT under any circumstances install and by the way I AM running on the administrative account but even still I clicked on "run as administrator." I kept getting the same error... which is this:

DepCheck indicates Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0SP1 (CBS) is not installed.

So... I think "okay fix that and it'll work." Not so simple. I tried to install .NET Framework 2.0 but its' not compatible with vista. I tried to uninstall all the .NET framework crap from my comp but the cleaning tool still shows this after running it:

After seeing this I attempted to find the missing service packs starting with service pack 1.1, it installed just fine. Then I went after .NET framework 2.0 but it wasn't compatible with my OS so I just went after 2.0 service pack 1. Apparently that is not compatible either, yay. I decided to try for 2.0 service pack 2... which appeared to have installed but for some reason its not registering with the system at all as if I had not installed it in the first place.

Other things I've tried includes going to Windows Features and enabling NET framework 3.0 but when I check everything in it and restart it goes back to being unchecked and just some colored in square, colored in but not checked as if I never did it in the first place. I've also tried this hotkey delete fix but that didn't work either because from what the cmd window tells me is that I don't even HAVE that hotkey in the first place.

I'm confused, I don't know what I'm doing wrong and I just want to be able to fix this problem and move on with my life. Please please help me. I'm at my wits end.

Vista have already build NET Framework 2.0 and unable uninstall/install it.You can only try to fix it.

1.Run cmd.exe with administrative previlliges (right click on cmd.exe as admin) and type:

sfc /scannow

2.Make sure Windows Update service is started and set to AUTO(DELAYED)

If point 1 and 2 don't help

3.Remove also all *.xml files from C:\Windows\WinSxS folder,check also phrases in HKLM\Components image->http://www.vistax64.com/872713-post6.html
If you have any additional phrases in this apart PublisherPolicyChangeTime,StoreArchitecture,StoreFormatVersion you have to remove them

if above suggestions don't help follow below:

1.Run cmd.exe with administrative previlliges and type:

findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt

on your desktop appear sfcdetails.txt file

2.2.Run Readiness Tool Description of the System Update Readiness Tool for Windows Vista, for Windows Server 2008, for Windows 7, and for Windows Server 2008 R2
even if this tool don't solve problem it create CheckSur.log file in C:\Windows\Logs\CBS folder

sfcdetails.txt and CheckSur.log attache to post

All .xml files?Or just the ones that look like this?

I typed .xml in the search box and all kinds of .xml files came up, it confused me. Also Its giving me grief about ownership. I clicked "full control" on myself but it still won't let me delete certain files.

Click to expand...
No! You have to delete *.xml files only from C:\Windows\WinSxS (not from subfolders of this folder).Unfortunately you selected also *.xml from subfolders.Unfortuanately build-in explorer is not good to these kind of things.Better way to use any external good file manager for example Total Commander,or any freeware tool (i.e I'm using FreeCommander)
The best way make below commands

Run cmd.exe with administrative previlliges (right click on cmd.exe as admin)

takeown /f C:\Windows\WinSxS\*.xml
icacls C:\Windows\WinSxS\*.xml /grant Administrators:F
del C:\Windows\WinSxS\*.xml

Ah okay.. I uh.. deleted some of the files so I hope it'll be okay since it wasn't really clear... thanks for helping me. I'm now going to try and install again. I hope this works. If not I'll post again.

Here is the result of deleting .xml files.. another error.

I'm stuck in an endless rebooting loop as far as the sfc.text goes. I had tried that before I made this thread following instructions from this blog and first it gave me some windows protection error, so I tried it in safe mode too with not much luck there either and now its stuck saying that there is a pending report and I need to reboot though I've done that more times than I can count. Heres the checkSUR log, though.

Download NET Framework Clean Up Tool Aaron Stebner's WebLog : .NET Framework Cleanup Tool User's Guide
and by using this tool remove NET Framework 3.5 (don't use Control Panel>>Programs and Features!) and then go to Control Panel>>Programs and Features>>Turn Windows featurs on or off and uncheck :Microsoft NET Framework 3.0. and apply.

Next reinstall NET Framework 3.5 SP1 Full Package http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/0/e/20e90413-712f-438c-988e-fdaa79a8ac3d/dotnetfx35.exe

and it hotfixes.

If none of above steps help upload CBS.log from C:\Windows\Logs\CBS folder on http://rapidshare.com/

I went to Aaron's blog and followed the instructions but I keep getting this message. Am I typing it wrong? I tried typing in each one of these:

cleanup_tool.exe /q:a /c:"cleanup.exe /p .NET Framework 3.5
cleanup_tool.exe /q:a /c:"cleanup.exe /p .NET Framework 3.5 /u"

But I get the message below. I even made sure that I saved it onto the "C" drive and didn't put it into any folders.

I can see you have Cleanup toop directly on C: so first you have to navigate to C: root
you have to type in console

cd\

but you don't need use console to do that,just double click on cleanup_tool and follow to creator

New CBS.log and myvctrace.txt attache to post

If impossible run SFC command than probably you have seriously WinSxS corrupted -use system restore in this situation http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/76256-system-restore-undo.html

The process cannot complete because it is being used by another process. <-- When attempting to delete the CBS logs.

But I was able to do the trace thing... so I'm now going to uninstall visual studio? I uninstalled Visual Studio 2008 but it didn't give an error it just kind of uninstalled...

I hate to even report that I still got the same error.

Is there anyway to get rid of that pending system repair?

Unfortunately you have to use stronger tool:

Download and burn this LiveCD Mepis https://www.mepis.org/mirrors

Boot this LiveCD, find C:\Windows\Logs\CBS and remove all files from this folder

Next run system in normal mode,run cmd.exe with admin rights and type:

sfc /scannow

when it finish try again install NET Framework 3.5
