What to do when you go to post a setup and deployment issue on the MSDN forums?

Step 1. It would be super helpful if you could provide the following information at the beginning of your post:

1. Version of .NET Framework you are trying to install.
2. Where did you get it (web page, path, application that redistributed the framework)
3. Is this a pre-release, CTP or beta version? Which? (Beta#, CTP (Month Year), RC, etc)
4. What .NET Framework Patches do you currently have installed? 

Step 1. Follow Aaron Stebner's blog: https://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2007/08/01/4172276.aspx

• I use https://home.services.spaces.live.com/ to post my logs, applications, etc.  It is free and easy to use.
• I've seen others use: https://www.file-upload.net/

Step 2. If this is a .NET Framework 3.5 install on Vista then you should run the following tool and post the output of the command: https://blogs.msdn.com/aaronru/archive/2007/11/29/net-framework-3-5-installation-validation-tool.aspx

Step 3. If this is a .NET Framework 3.5 isntall on Vista RTM then you should additionally try the following:

Run the following from an elevated command prompt

1. Winmgmt /verifyrepository

2. If the repository is reported as INCONSISTENT, run “Winmgmt /resetrepository” (if it fails because of service dependency, run “net stop winmgmt” and try again). If the repository is consistent, skip this step.

3. Do “mofcomp C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet.mof” to compile the failed mof.

If you feel the need to completely remove the .NET Framework and Visual Studio from your machines then you should follow the blog: https://blogs.msdn.com/aaronru/archive/2007/12/10/uninstalling-the-visual-studio-2008-rtm-or-rc.aspx

  Even before Step1 (or, as part of Step 1). The person with the problem must tell what Windows version and Service Pack level is involved!Solutions to .NET Framework installation problems will often be different, depending on Windows version.

  I have Windows XP Pro and it is set to automatically install updates.  Recently it is failing to install all new updates and coming up with various messages about missing software.  I have tried to run fix it which again fails asking me to install various versions of .net framework.  In each case I attempt to do this but each installation fails to completes.  I am not a windows expert but can follow most instructions but nothing I try seems to work.  Help please?

  I have no idea what this software is for. I thought it would help me set-up a web page. Can anyone tell me what exactly what Visual Studio 2010 does and what does Framework.net do and if it is to set-up a web page where do I start???

  Currently I've got Visual Web Developer Express 2010 and 2012 installed alongside each other (the "Express" is a free "reduced" Visual Studio).  Now I have Visual Studio 2012 to install and I don't know if I have to uninstall the Express versions.  Does anyone know?  Will there be conflicts, problems?Thanks in advance,Rob
