As stated in the title, the 3.5 framework is not working properally. whenever I try to run application that require it, I get an error similar to this,

[1:18:27 PM:316] File: Line: 0 Error: Metadata file 'C:\Windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\System.Core\3.5.0.0__b77a5c561934e089\System.Core.dll' could not be found

I checked my system folder, and none of these folders exist, nor do the DLLS. Is there any reason for this? I used the Framework uninstall tool and uninstalled all the previous versions. and reinstalled the latest one and the service pack afterwards.
