Net Framework Issues

[Ralph Tomaccio]

I have been having a few issues with software that appear to be related to
..net framework on my XP Pro SP3 machine. I have read numerous posts and tried
dozens of "fixes" with none that work and am close to putting a hammer
through my monitor through frustration. It has gotten to the point where I
deleted all net framework versions and have started over at least 5 times to
no avail.

I've uninstalled using both Add & Remove programs as well as Microsoft's net
framework removal tool, turned off all anti-virus software, tried downloading
& installing each version individually as well as through Windows Update
feature. Restarting between installs as well. Some versions have installed
successfully. These are 1.1, 1.1 SP1, 2.0, 3.0.

Thanks in advance for whatever help you can provide.

What have failed are 2.0 SP1, 2.0 SP2, 3.5 & 3.5 SP1.

I understand 3.5 SP1 should be able to be installed as long as 2.0 is
installed properly as it is a cumulative patch. Unfortunately, it doesn't. I
have read so many posts about what to do my head is swimming.

What can I do to resolve this problem and why does it have to be so
complicated and convoluted?
