Hi Reflected_D,

Thank you for your post.

Some clarification with you:
What's your OS?

Based on the screenshot, your issue seems to be related to .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 installation. Let's try manually installing .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 (Full Package) separately.

I'm not quite sure what OS is on your machine. Please provide me more information on that.

You can follow these steps to have a try:

For XP or Windows Server 2003:
1. Use Cleanup tool to remove .NET Framework 2.0, 3.0, 3.5 and run .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 full package installer.
2. If any problem occurs during the installation, use Collect tool to collect the log files for further troubleshooting.
(Please follow the following steps to collect the log files)

For Vista or Server 2008:
1. Use Cleanup tool to remove .NET Framework 3.5.
1. Check whether you have turned on the windows feature of .NET Framework 3.0.
Please go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off -> Check the box next to Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0.
2. Use Verification Tool to verify .Net Framework 2.0, 3.0. If .Net Framework 2.0 and 3.0 cannot be verified on your computer, you can try to follow the steps mentioned in the following blog to repair the .NET Framework 2.0 and 3.0 on Windows Vista.
See: http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2007/03/26/how-to-repair-the-net-framework-2-0-and-3-0-on-windows-vista.aspx
3. If .NET Framework 2.0 and 3.0 are verified successfully >> run the installer, but the installation still fails, please collect the log file.
(Please follow the following steps to collect the log files)

The steps to collect the log:
- Try to clean your "%temp%" folder (Start Menu >> Run >> Type "%temp%")
- Install .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
- Collect the logs from "%temp%" folder
   Collect tool: http://blogs.msdn.com/heaths/archive/2008/05/09/visual-studio-and-net-log-collection-utility.aspx
- Upload vslogs.cab file to SkyDrive and post the link back here

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Yichun Chen
