Windows 10: .NET Framework 3.5 - sp1 gets stuck on "Downloading Required Files"

Every time we try to download the .NET Framework 3.5-sp1 on our system it never downloads. It will always get stuck on downloading required files and it will either never finish or develop an error message. We are on Windows 11 and our program that we are trying to run needs this Framework to work. We have already tried using the control panel, the DISM command, going to the website and trying to download the offline installer, and just running the program which tries to start the download for the Framework, but never goes through.

.net framework 3.5 sp1 not installing

All right.. this is the funny a$$ part.. So.. TRT, I did what you said.. then did something I should of did WAY before starting this.. Reg cleaner.. lol..


So.. my steps..

• Uninstall everything to which it's just .net framework 2.0
  
• Restart
  
• Install 3.5 sp1 via *Stick Out Tongue rogram and Features: Turn off....
  
• Restart
  
• Reg clean threw CCleaner 4 times, every time had a issue.
  
• Verify that all .net up to 3.5 sp1 was installed and been verified to be working
  
• went to website
  
• saw a action to "run test" to see if system is compatible.
  
• Allowed Firewall/ windows defender to run said program (says it's a low grade trojan
  
• Went to issued program and opened..
  
• Worked..

lol... oh, how stupid I was.. I all ways run reg cleaner on new os's... My mind is losing myself... *Roll :roll:
