.net framework 3.5 problem!

[DJ Tucker]

Hope everyone had a good christmas. i came back after christmas and found out that my .net framework 3.5 had become corrupt somehow. i uninstalled everything to do with it and used the .net cleanup tool and seem to be getting the 1603 error regardless of what i do. i have .net 1, 2, 3, 4, 4.5 and 4.5.1 installed no issues. why is this just not working?

Said it before with your other issue, you need to reinstall Windows. Maybe power users see it more often but after two years my computers get OS rot bad enough that I can't take it any longer.

Other options to try first:
1) Download CCleaner run it, then run it's registry cleaner.
2) Download Glarysoft Glary Utilities (free version) and do the same thing.

Then reboot and try to install NET Framework again. FYI, there's a standalone download for NET Framework 4.5.1 that includes previous versions.

thx major but has already tried that and no dice. however i found out that it was due to my registry losing permissions for no reason to which i got the horrid C0000021a winlogon BSOD so had to yet again reinstall windows. that's not what i wanted to do but at least i can now set up my system to the way i want it and suprisingly it's faster. in fact boots in around 40-50 seconds
