"Try cleaning up your .NET framework installation using the .NET Framework Cleanup Tool: blogs.msdn***/astebner/archive/2006/05/30/611355.aspx

I've run into this before with some Tax software. In the case of the tax software, the installer was looking for version 2.0 of the .NET framework...EXACTLY version 2.0.

If I had .NET 2.0 SP1, it assumed I did't have the framework installed -- FAIL. If I had .NET 3.5, same story -- FAIL.

A less-than-perfect solution was to downgrade my .NET framework to 2.0. Then install the software. Then upgrade my .NET framework back to 3.5 SP1. It was a pain in the butt, but it worked."

You can try to use the cleanup tool as administrator (use method 2) and then run sfc /scannow in evevated command prompt.
