can't install net.framework 3.5

I am having this bizarre problem when I try to install net.framework
3.5. I have tried to install it a number of times with no luck, and
when I try to check the error log nothing comes up. I googled the
problem and made sure there were no obvious problems (e.g. - IIS is
activated). I tried to install using the more comprehensive
"dotnetfx35.exe" install file. That when I realized it was extracting
to another partition which was not even on the same hard drive!! I
thought maybe it was because I was installing from a partition other
than C, so moved the file to C & tried again. Same problem, except
this time it extracted to yet another partition, again not even on the
same hard drive. I have not had this problem with any other version of
net.framework. I am running XP Pro SP3.
Thanks

The extraction process will pick one of the partitions or drives where the
most free space is found.
Also this file creates a temporary folder, so if the installation completes
properly this temp folder
will be deleted.

Hi Rob T.,

There is no .Net Framework 3.5 for Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack
3 version that I have. I went to Windows Update. The last is .Net Framework
3.0 SP1 version, which installed fine in Windows XP Home Edition Service
Pack 2 without problems.

Did you receive it as a Hotfix or Optional Software from Windows Update
for Windows XP?

The partition being used by .net 3.5 to hold the installation files is
irrelevant.

What is the actual "bizarre problem" that you are having with it?

I installed it on XP Home SP2 using the online installer. You have to
disable your antivirus program temporarily. You may have to uninstall other
versions of .net Framework and reinstall them first if you persist in having
problems installing this update.

hello to all,
i've read some of your install problems for the net framework 3.5 and actually had the same problem but here is the fix (at least for me).

1) download the net framework 3.5 and 3.5 sp 1 files. (this is for xp pro only)

2) right click my computer, then manage, then go to services.

3) make sure the .net runtime optimization service, ASP.NET State Services, and IIS are all started and set to automatic (if not set to start and automatic and restart computer)

4) disable all antivirus and antimalware/spyware software

5) leave internet connection enabled and lnstall 3.5 first, restart computer leaving all antivirus software disabled, then install 3.5 SP1 with internet enabled. it will need to download some files.

6) once completed, re-enable all disabled programs and restart computer.


hope this helps
