.NET Framework 3.5 Installation validation tool

  • Article

If you want to detect if your .NET Framework 3.5 installation was successful, you can use this tool to verify that the right versions are installed.

Instructions:

1. Download the following file to your computer: https://cid-e7f319723234fb5c.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Public/netfx35tools/NetFx35_detect_issues.bat

2. Open a command prompt by doing start -> run and type cmd.

3. enter the full path to where the script runs.

What is happening:

This script will check the registry for the right versions of the .NET Framework 3.5, .NET Framework 3.0 SP1 & .NET Framework 2.0 SP1.  they are not there then it will return what it did find and let you know that an error happened.

Further on Vista, it will tell you if you have appropriately installed .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 & 3.0 SP1.

 Return codes:

0 == Success

>0 == Failure

    Looks like a useful tool, BUT:  could you please post it in a zip file?Some unfortunate souls (like me) are sitting behind corporate web filters that block batch files, script files, exes, etc.

    Forgot to mention that Windows Update is enabled, and states I'm all up to date.

    Hi Aaron,Thanks for this!  I wasn't quite sure what the output meant (included for your reference below) but it gave me the hint to download & repair my .net framework 3.5 sp1 installation.  I still get the same response as below from your tool (as you mentioned above that's not supported yet), but the problem that prompted me to run this tool in the first place is now solved.THE FOLLOWING SCRIPT will check to make sure that .NET Framework 3.5is installed properly and will tell you what is not configured appropriatelyWINDOWS VERSION: 6.0.6001POTENTIAL ERROR: REGISTRYDUMP: reg query "HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftNET Framework SetupNDPv2.0.50727" /v "SP"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftNET Framework SetupNDPv2.0.50727   SP    REG_DWORD    0x2ERROR: NetFx2.0 SP1 is not installedPOTENTIAL ERROR: REGISTRYDUMP: reg query "HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftNET Framework SetupNDPv3.0" /v "SP"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftNET Framework SetupNDPv3.0   SP    REG_DWORD    0x2ERROR: Netfx3.0 SP1 is not installed

    Useless on Vista Ultimate SP2. The monitor window closes automatically before you have a chance to read the results of running the .bat file, and it writes no log.
