.NET Framework 3.5 Installation validation tool

If you want to detect if your .NET Framework 3.5 installation was successful, you can use this tool to verify that the right versions are installed.

Instructions:

1. Download the following file to your computer: http://cid-e7f319723234fb5c.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Public/netfx35tools/NetFx35_detect_issues.bat

2. Open a command prompt by doing start -> run and type cmd.

3. enter the full path to where the script runs.

What is happening:

This script will check the registry for the right versions of the .NET Framework 3.5, .NET Framework 3.0 SP1 & .NET Framework 2.0 SP1.  they are not there then it will return what it did find and let you know that an error happened.

Further on Vista, it will tell you if you have appropriately installed .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 & 3.0 SP1.

 Return codes:

0 == Success

>0 == Failure

Looks like a useful tool, BUT:  could you please post it in a zip file?

Some unfortunate souls (like me) are sitting behind corporate web filters that block batch files, script files, exes, etc.

I'm on VistaSp1.  I've installed VS 2008, but discovered VS 2008 Sp1 doesn't install.  Drilling into it, discovered problem was .net 3.5 sp1 didn't install, with following errors.  I ran this .NET Framework 3.5 Installation validation tool, and get the following error msg:

ERROR: NetFx2.0 SP1 is not installed

Of course I can't install sp for 2.0, as your other blog entry describes.

Installing .net 3.5 SP1 encounters the following errors:

[03/06/09,09:23:19] Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0SP1 (CBS): [2] Error: Installation failed for component Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0SP1 (CBS). MSI returned error code -2146498536

Of course, attempting to install 3.0sp1 on vista gets the same error.  Help please!!!
