Hello everyone, so im at my wits end, have been fighting this since last night and cant get .NET to install.

It started when i got Far Cry 4 saying i needed 4.5.1 to play, which i had, the game plays but that is neither here nor there.

During my tinkering to get the game to work, i decided to try to uninstall and reinstall the .NET framework. Well it would not uninstall or repair, i ended up having to use a removal tool to take care of it. Now, it wont install no matter what i do. I can see it sitting in the task manager process window, and i can see it reading from the disk in the resource monitoring window.

I have tried to do a web install, a offline install, an install via ninite, install thought windows up date, and it all does the same thing, it just sits there, and makes no progress. When i tried to install it via the web install it sat there for over 2.5 hour and nothing ever came up prompting me to continue, it just sat in the process window of the task manager, not doing anything.

Can anyone please help me? I have run out of ideas of what it could be, turned off windows defender and my firewall, not sure what i can do.
