Problem installing .net framework 4

[Stranger91]

Hey guys.

 

I was wondering if any of you could solve this for me; i've yet to study computer science @ university, so until then, i'm stumped.

 

Basically, I'm trying to use the software "Freemake VD", but in order to do that, I have to install the aforementioned .net framework 4.

 

Now, I get fairly far in the process. It tells me that the files are verified, and it continues to install, but around 3/4 of the way through, a message pops up, like so:

If you can't see the above image, tell me, and i'll create a link or something.

 

Also, here is the Log File. I can't really decipher it myself, and I have no idea if it contributes to anything:

Let me know if you have any idea on how to solve this.

 

Also, i've tried the following:

- Installed framework 5 - the software requires framework 4 only. I imagine it would be the same for other future framework software packages.

- Done a windows update - as the window suggested. The same thing happens before and after the update, although... the installation process continued a little further after the update.

 

Thanks in advance~

Hi and welcome to ExTS

 

Your install gets part-way through then fails at KB956250

I am unsure if it is looking for this or trying to install it.

 

Go here and download KB956250

click here

 

Install this then try again with the .Net Framework 4

Hello KenB, thank you for welcoming me to the forum.

 

Thanks for the download link. I did click it. I chose the Windows6.0-KB956250-ia64.MSU file.

 

I download, and in a dozen seconds, a message box pops up saying: "The update does not apply to your system"

 

Regardless of this, I tried downloading .net f4 again. The bottom bar seems to go half way at the "installing .net framework 4 client profile" stage; that's when it stops, and the error message box appears.

 

I'm not sure if there's a solution to this. But regardless, thanks for trying to solve this problem.

Hi

 

Do you have .Net Framework 3.5 ?

 

If not - try downloading it from here > install then try to upgrade to 4.0

Yes, I already have .Net Framework 3.5 (SP1) installed. That's why I find it a little strange that I can't upgrade to the one immediately after.

 

I tried downloading it as you suggested anyway; that didn't work, but I expected it not to.

 

Weird thing is, I tried downloading .Net Framework 5, which worked without any problems, but the software I want to use requires .net Framework 4.0 of course.
