WIndows 2008 R2 server wont install .NET Framework

Hello All,

I have a 2008 R2 Server that I am trying to put the new Server Version of MYOB on over the weekend

I hit a hurdle and now can not work out why

MYOB need to install the latest version of Dot net Framework on as it does during the install

This Failed and would not install

I then had a look at the server and found there were some updates needed, which included some dot net stuff

I ended up installing them but the dot net ones failed

I then Proceeded to try and install all the dot net Framework from Manual Download

This has failed as well

Not sure where to next

Please help, customers has now got 6 people not on the server at moment doing nothing...so you can imagine how happy they are

Thanks Adam

There are many reasons for failure. For details, please see the link below.

Try .NET Framework Setup Verifier

See if it can correct what is already installed and then try the manual download again.

Remember this Server is out of support.

I have Downloaded and run Verifier and it has come back saying all version from 2.0 to 4 are installed and correct but its the stuff after that which I am having issues with

And yes we are moving these guys to new 2016 server but just need to sort this one now
Have you tried to restart the server before you install the latest version of .NET?
Yes

This is a screenshot of what happens when I try and install 4.5.2 Full

If the Verifier did not work, you have bigger problems and probably need to speed up the new server.

Some risk here:  Can you remove .NET Framework ? Programs and Features, Windows Features (different name in Server 2008), restart and re-enable .NET  ?

Can you temporarily mount MYOB on a solid personal computer with its database and access it from there?
The Verifier worked fine its just when i go to install the next version as per last image

+1 for the MS .NET repair tool.

Aside from that I would run DSIM repair tools:

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth   -- This scans the health
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth  -- Restores health 
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /SpSuperseded  -- Rolls up any servicepacks and makes the install permanent
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup  -- Cleans up installer files and makes them permanent

Open in new window


In addition to the above scanning/restoring, I would check the health of WIM:
winmgmt /verifyrepository  -- If it fails, do the following

winmgmt /salvagerepository   -- This will repair it.
winmgmt /verifyrepository      --- to check again wmi repository had been repaired successfully
