hi again,
in my case, i am simply trying to deploy an application which has .NET 3.5 as a prerequisite. so when i try to install the application, it throws an error message when attempting to install .NET 3.5 and inevitably the process rolls back.
It also fails to install 3.5 when you run the .NET installer on its own (dotnetfx35 that can be downloaded from the Microsoft website). Keep in mind that i did not need to install visual studio 2008, i was simply deploying an application. To be sure there was nothing wrong with my Setup & deployment package and out of good measure, i tried to run the installation of visual studio,simply to see what would happen. My thinking was this was another way to get the .NET 3.5 that was needed in the beginning to get my application up and running.
Anyway, visual studio also failed to install. Which is why i am convinced that the problem here lies in the installation of either .NET 3.0 or 3.5.

Peter.

Hi guys,
simply wondering whether this problem was finally resolved or whether a reason as to why this happens was given.
I think the problem here is when trying to install .NET 3.5. I have encountered this myself. tried everything but sadly have not been able to get the 3.5 framework to install.
the suggestion given on the MSDN site also do not seem to resolve the problem http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/netfxsetup/thread/831d8f82-0be5-42b7-a890-cfa539c9dc67/

Hallo,
On your registry sometimes some keys are left behind my need google how to clean up your registry for  a visual studio reinstallation.
On windows you can use something for like revo uninstaller to uninstall stuff to clean up stuff in the registry.
Also it will crush if you dont do a full install.

Hey guys,

I have been trying to install Visual Studio 2008 Professional on my machine but it keeps failing from time to time. I had installed Visual Studio 2008 Team Sysytem. Is there a way i can install Visual Studio Professional 2008 without formatting my machine.

Kind Regards
Charles Mtawali
