Windows 10: Error 0x80072EE5 : When installing .NET Framework version 3.5 on Windows 10 Pro Version...

Hi guys,I'm running a DELL laptop with Windows 10 Pro OS Version 21H1 Build 19043.1288.I'm downloading an app but when I try to install it, it requires ".NET Framework version 3.5". If I decline it, it simply doesn't install.So the Pop-Up takes me here to download the .NET 3.5 SP1:https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=22I download the file and upon execution to install, I get the following error code: 0x80072EE5.Can anyone please help?Thanks in advance!wubbox

Install .NET 3.5 Framework on Windows 10

Is it even possible, the help for this is of no use.

.NET Framework 3.5 installation errors - Windows Client | Microsoft Docs

This is the bit thats applicable to me.

To fix the error codes for Windows 10, follow these steps:

1. Download the Windows Media Creation tool, and create an ISO image locally, or create an image for the version of Windows that you have installed.
   
2. Configure the Group Policy as in Method 2, but also follow these steps:
   1. Mount the ISO image that's created in step 1.
   2. Point the "Alternate source file path" to the ISO sources\sxs folder from the ISO.
   3. Run the gpupdate /force command.
   4. Add the .Net framework feature.

Method 2 isn't mentioned anywhere.

Further more if i download the framework installer and run the dotnetfx35setup.exe file i get a window that says it requires the framework its trying to install, so its a loop that requires the framework to install the framework.

Next issue is that if i try to turn it on from Programs and Features in the control panel it throws me back to the initial error of not being able to install it which takes me back to the link above and method for fixing it which doesn't include the information
for Method 2.

I'm starting to think MS are purposely making it uninstallable at this point.

Any help would be much apreciated.

 

.net FRAMEWORK version 2.0

No it didn't help. When I opened the dialog box that you are referring to, the "(NET Framework 3.5(includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)" box was already ticked/darkened. I went ahead and restarted my computer again just in case. When my computer restarted, I got
the small pop up box that said that the "net Framework version 2.0" had not been installed. Any other ideas?

 

.Net Framework version 4.0

Here are the following error questions I am requesting assistance with from your office. Because I continue experience problems with my Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit operating system (OS).

1. I continue to receive the below error message below whenever I try to install a variety of software applications from a variety of software companies.

“.Net Framework Initialization Error



To run this application, you first must install one of the following versions of the .NET Framework”



V4.0



Contact your application publisher for instructions about obtaining the appropriate version of the .NET Framework.”



So, if there is any assistance such as instructions on how to resolve this error then please let me know.
