&lt;P&gt;Then that is a known issue with your machine having the IIS server turned off and it needs to be turned on.&amp;nbsp; The reason is that some of the ASP.NET updates require the Server to be running during install.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;After installing .NET Framework 3.5 (which applies the .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 and 3.0 SP1 Updates) then you can turn the IIS server service back off.&lt;/P&gt;

It would be super helpful if you could provide the following information at the beginning of your post:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;OL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;
&lt;DIV align=left&gt;Version of .NET Framework you are trying to install.&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;
&lt;DIV align=left&gt;Where did you get it (web page, path, application that redistributed the framework)&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Is this a pre-release, CTP&amp;nbsp;or beta version? Which? (Beta#, CTP (Month Year), RC, etc)&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;
&lt;DIV align=left&gt;What .NET Framework Patches do you currently have installed?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Step 1. Follow Aaron Stebner's blog: &lt;A href="http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2007/08/01/4172276.aspx" mce_href="http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2007/08/01/4172276.aspx"&gt;http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2007/08/01/4172276.aspx&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;I use &lt;A href="http://home.services.spaces.live.com/"&gt;http://home.services.spaces.live.com/&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;to post my logs, applications, etc.&amp;nbsp; It is free and easy to use.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;I've seen others use: &lt;A href="http://www.file-upload.net/"&gt;http://www.file-upload.net/&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Step 2. If this is a .NET Framework 3.5 install on Vista then you should run the following tool and post the output of the command: &lt;A href="http://blogs.msdn.com/aaronru/archive/2007/11/29/net-framework-3-5-installation-validation-tool.aspx" mce_href="http://blogs.msdn.com/aaronru/archive/2007/11/29/net-framework-3-5-installation-validation-tool.aspx"&gt;http://blogs.msdn.com/aaronru/archive/2007/11/29/net-framework-3-5-installation-validation-tool.aspx&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Step 3. If this is a .NET Framework 3.5 isntall on Vista RTM then you should additionally try the following:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;SPAN lang=EN-IN style="COLOR: #1f497d; mso-ansi-language: EN-IN"&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;FONT face=Calibri&gt;Run the following from an elevated command prompt&lt;?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoListParagraph style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1"&gt;&lt;SPAN lang=EN-IN style="COLOR: #1f497d; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-IN"&gt;&lt;SPAN style="mso-list: Ignore"&gt;&lt;FONT face=Calibri size=3&gt;1.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT: 7pt 'Times New Roman'"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN lang=EN-IN style="COLOR: #1f497d; mso-ansi-language: EN-IN"&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;FONT face=Calibri&gt;Winmgmt /verifyrepository &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Instructions:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;1. Download the following file to your computer: &lt;A href="http://cid-e7f319723234fb5c.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Public/netfx35tools/NetFx35_detect_issues.bat" mce_href="http://cid-e7f319723234fb5c.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Public/netfx35tools/NetFx35_detect_issues.bat"&gt;http://cid-e7f319723234fb5c.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Public/netfx35tools/NetFx35_detect_issues.bat&lt;/A&gt;&lt;A href="http://cid-e7f319723234fb5c.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Public/netfx35tools/NetFx35_detect_issues.bat" mce_href="http://cid-e7f319723234fb5c.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Public/netfx35tools/NetFx35_detect_issues.bat"&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;2. Open a command prompt by doing start -&amp;gt; run and type cmd.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;3. enter the full path to where the script runs.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;What is happening:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;This script will check the registry for the right versions of the .NET Framework 3.5, .NET Framework 3.0 SP1 &amp;amp; .NET Framework 2.0 SP1.&amp;nbsp; they are not there then it will return what it did find and let you know that an error happened.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Further on Vista, it will tell you if you have appropriately installed .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 &amp;amp; 3.0 SP1.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;Return codes:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;0 == Success&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;gt;0 == Failure&lt;/P&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=6608307" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/aaronru/archive/tags/NETFX/default.aspx">NETFX</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/aaronru/archive/tags/3.0/default.aspx">3.0</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/aaronru/archive/tags/2.0/default.aspx">2.0</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/aaronru/archive/tags/.NET+Framework+3.5/default.aspx">.NET Framework 3.5</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/aaronru/archive/tags/3.5/default.aspx">3.5</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/aaronru/archive/tags/sp1/default.aspx">sp1</category></item><item><title>.NET Framework 3.5 RTM Detection Logic.</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/aaronru/archive/2007/11/26/net-framework-3-5-rtm-detection-logic.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 26 Nov 2007 18:44:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:6532319</guid><dc:creator>aaronru</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><comments>http://blogs.msdn.com/aaronru/comments/6532319.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://blogs.msdn.com/aaronru/commentrss.aspx?PostID=6532319</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;P class=MsoPlainText style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;FONT face=Consolas&gt;When you install .NET Framework 3.5, it installs .NET Framework 3.0 SP1 &amp;amp; .NET Framework 2.0 SP1, or equivelent cumulative update on Vista.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
