Unable to install .NET Framework 3.5

[NJITGS]

With all previous version of the .NET Fw uninstalled from the Add/Remove
Programs Manager at the recommendation of the manufacturer of my computer, I
have attempted to install .NET Fw unsuccessfully with it getting to the
point of the download manage telling me that the download is complete and
that I can disconnect from the internet, then it attempts to install the
update and seconds into the installation it stops and tells me that an error
has occurred and that Setup with remove installed files.

Among the measures I have taken to resolve this issue was to attempt
installation rebooting in safe mode with networking, disabling my Anti-Virus
Program and the same thing happens.

What version of .NET Fw should I have for a Windows XP Media Center Edition
Service Pack 2 32-Bit computer?

Does .N Fw 3.5 Supercede all previous versions?

What log file? Where do I find it?

There should be a log file, either in the root directory or in %temp%.
Delete it, then delete all the files and folders in %temp%, and try again.
If that fails, post the log file here.

The .NET version has nothing to do with Windows version/edition. It has to
do with what .NET software you want to support. What software that requires
..NET are you wanting to run? Have you asked the vendor(s) which .NET version
is needed?

FWIW, .NET 3.0 and 3.5 are add-ons to v2.0, not replacements. So, needing
v3.5 means that 2.0 and 3.5 will have to be installed.
