    Exclamation .NET Framework 3.5 not installing

    Just want to say thanks to the creators of this community I know I'm a new member and who has just joined for support. But I'll surely hopefully be around to help also. I'm just having this problem installing .NET Framework 3.5 on my Windows Server 2008 RC2 VPS. I've contacted the hosters of the VPS but they are unable to help.

    I downloaded .NET Framework 3.5 from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en and executed the installer. Nothing happened. Absolutely nothing. The amount of times I've tried downloading it and many steps I've been told to go through haven't helped or solved it. I've checked processes and it doesn't hang or anything. Nothing appears to load or extract. I downloaded a standalone (non-web installer). Stuff actually extracted into my C:\ but then after the extraction, the temp files deleted and again nothing happened. It's a clean VPS and nothing should be blocking it. I have had no issues installing anything else administrational-wise. Can someone help me out if they know anyway to solve it? Perhaps some sort of debugger or something that could tell me what's going on to see what's blocking it.

    Thanks alot community and hope someone can help!
    Terrum.

    Re: .NET Framework 3.5 not installing

    Is it possible that FW3.5 may already be installed?

    Re: .NET Framework 3.5 not installing

    Ahhh... were the 2.0 and 3.0 frameworks installed? 3.5 builds upon 3.0 which builds upon 2.0...

    Not that I know of. How would I tell? It's not in the "Remove/Uninstall/Change Program" thing on the control panel and I can't run any of my software that works on my Home PC with FW3.5 installed that requires FW3.5 on the VPS.

    Ahhh... were the 2.0 and 3.0 frameworks installed? 3.5 builds upon 3.0 which builds upon 2.0...
    I really wouldn't know, sorry lol If you tell me how to find out what framework is currently installed I'll be more than happy to find it out and write it here.

    Re: .NET Framework 3.5 not installing

    If they aren't listed in the "Remove/Change Programs" listings... they are not installed. You can get to their installs from that link you had in the first post... scroll down to the bottom... snag the FW2.0 & FW3.0 redistributables.

    Re: .NET Framework 3.5 not installing

    I tried installing 3.0. It came up with an error saying "You must use the Role Management Tool to install or configure .NET Framework 3.0". So I google'd the error, and this result came up:

    http://www.fryan0911.com/2009/08/you...t-tool-to.html

    So I can try install .NET Framework 3.5 with the role management tool! Thanks all.
