Windows 10: I cant install .NET 3.5. Error code: 0x180073701

I am on windows 10, and it only gives the error code: 0x180073701 after being stuck on the "downloading required files" page it goes to: "The referenced assembly could not be found." and "Error code: 0x180073701"and this guide did not help:https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/cant-install-net-framework-35-with-error-code/8e527fc0-07c0-498f-ad5b-008db1ffbdeb

Unable to download any framework for .net - (error code 0x80070002)

OK, the Windows 10 Feature installation method should have been straightforward, but since that errored out as well, something else seems to be going on with your Windows, so wait for somebody with more experience to suggest a way out.

In the mean time, if you haven't already, you could give muchomurka's suggestion a go as well with the elevated prompt and an install media to see if it works. The following link shows the detailed steps involved.

fix Error code 0x80070057, net framework v3.5

My new computer is Windows 11 home, v22H2, x64-based processor

Hi, I went to load NavDesk_v7_50_0112_SP.exe to my new computer and I was told I needed “Microsoft .Net Framework version 3.5”



When I tried to install it I was told that it couldn't be installed, "The parameter is incorrect" and “error code: 0x80070057”.

1. I tried returning to the very first System Restore point, but that did not work.
   
2. I have tried Windows Club FixWin11 -System fixes – Windows update error: 0x800070057
   

Steps 1 & 2 read “0” as shown.

With step 3. Rename "%SystemRoot%\SoftwareDistribution" to "SoftwareDistribution.bck"

I cannot find the location to rename.



Any help to fix the error code would be most appreciated.
