Windows 10: .NET Framework 3.5 not installing, tried everything... always comes up with Error Code:...

Trying to download the Sims 3 on origin. I use a HP Elitebook x360 and I am on Windows 10 Education. It says that .NET Framework 3.5 needs to be installed and the game does not open if i try to skip the installation. So i try and install it and the green bar is only partially filled about 1/20. Then it says it could not be installed and displays error code: 0x8024402C


I have deleted any junk files and have also tried to install it through the control panel but the same error comes up every time.


Does anyone know a fix for this seemingly unique issue?

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.

.NET Framework 3.5 Not installing


Guys, I think it worked.

After I installed the update, I tried to install NET Framework 3.5, and this displayed 5 minutes later:

Thanks for all of the suggestions. All I had to do was what Slartybart said. Put in the reg code, install updates, get NET framework.
