how do I install .NET Framework 4 on XP

tempkim · Jan 8, 2014

I have tried for three days to install .NET Framework 4 on my HP Pavillion Computer with XP Pro software. I can get it to download to the computer but there are several updates that will not install. I have tried severl things and nothing is working.

mine say -client profile- and -extended-. do you have both of those?............. and do you have 2.0/3.0/3.5 sp1 installed?

Go into control panel and Microsoft software and Uninstall all framework files then go to MS update and download and install Framework.

I do have all of the previous versions downloaded. I do not see -client profile- and -extended- Can you tell me where to look for that?

littleleo :

But if I Uninstall all Framework files, won't Iose all previous versions? And from all the forums I have read, I need those. Or are you saying I should uninstall ALL versions and reinstall them?

and if it isn't on your machine and you go to windows update it should see that and bring up those files for installation.

swifty_morgan :

Yes, I can bring the files up for installation. The problem is they FAIL to install. I get error messages and I have tried to install them 4 times. They download with no problem, they just will not install.

not even in safe mode?........... how much room left on HD?

tempkim · Jan 8, 2014

swifty_morgan :

No...not even in Safe Mode :-(
I have over 10 gigs available. That should be more than enough room.

swifty_morgan · Jan 8, 2014

what if you removed some old stuff and gave it more room?........

swifty_morgan :

How much room should I need? I have over 10 gigs available....

swifty_morgan · Jan 8, 2014

tell you what. defragg your system. bet it won't do it or do it right because there isn't enough room to move files.

tempkim · Jan 8, 2014

swifty_morgan :

Well I can try that.... and see what happens :-/

Had no problem with it degragging. It said I had room....

tempkim :

Yes, uninstall all versions and run the Windows Update and dl and install them all together. That is how I fixed the issue on my computer.
