how to install .net 3.5 on server 2008 r2

[Lordmathos]

Hi all I am having trouble installing .net 3.5 sp1 on server 2008 r2.

I have added the .net 3.5.1 framework from server manager but when I go to install software that requires 3.5 sp1 it tells me its not installer.

any ideas?

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in practice, there is.

From another forum:

For the WS08 server, I would uninstall the .NET Framework completely and then build back up again. To do so, use Add/Remote programs to uninstall any of the service packs that you see there. Then from Server Manager go to -> Roles -> Web Server (IIS) -> Remove Role Services -> and remove "ASP.NET" and ".NET Extensibility" (and accept the prompt to remove dependencies). After that completes, perform a reboot if it asks for one.

Then, from Server Manager again, add a role service and add those back again. Then use Windows Update, but step through the service packs in order

if you do a servermanagercmd -q
does it have an "X"?
