Net Framework 3.0 Install Fails

[JustUs]

This solution was provided by Philip Han - Microsoft Windows Support
Professional.

The remove.bat did not work for me, but not to say it won't for you. There
was some setting on my system that was denying the script access to parts of
the process. However, the cleanup utility provided by:
http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2007/08/31/4678599.aspx worked
perfectly.
Net Framework 3.5 is installed!!!


Step 1: Completely remove .NET Framework related folders and registry keys

==================================================

1. Click "Start", Run, type: "notepad C:\remove.bat" (without the quotation
marks) and press "Enter". Choose "Yes" when you are prompted.

2. Copy the following commands and then paste them into the opened Notepad
window:

Rd "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET" /s /q

Del C:\Windows\System32\mscoree.dll /q

Del C:\Windows\System32\URTTemp\mscoree.dll /q

del %temp% /Q /F

MSIexec /unregister

MSIexec /regserver

Reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework" /f

Reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Integration" /f

Reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework SDK" /f

3. After you have pasted the above commands, please close the Notepad

4. Click "Start", "Run", type: "C:\remove.bat" (without the quotation marks)
and press "Enter" to run the commands we have pasted.

Does

doesn't
necessarily mean it is installed. I have tried to install from a

from MS and it fails as does 3.0.

PA Bear -
I did read the link. I was very hesitant to remove what was working - 2.0.
So I only used the utility to remove 3.x. It was bedtime, but wasn't tired
enough not to try Philip's solution. My heart pounding as all is uninstalled,
and activating install for 3.5 hoping that I would not see "an error occured"
at the top on the install dialog box. The remove.bat did not work as it
processed there were errors of "access denied". Not sure what that was all
about, so went to Stebner's utility. It worked. Anyway, thanks for all your
support as it is much appreciated.

did and that repair failed as well. So, I uninstalled 3.0 and
tried
to
reinstall and it failed. Now I do not have 3.0 installed at all.
Suggestions?

I am guessing that I may have software that needs 3.0, but won't
know
until
a program I need fails.

The SP1 for 2.0 worked on my XP Pro Student SP2, but not my XP
Pro
SP2.
