Windows 7 - .Net Framework 4 verification issue

Problem:

I constantly get the error
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.31310\mscoreei.dll could not be loaded"

And whenever i try to install Dead Island
Please set Registry Key
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\.NETframework\InstallRoot to point to the .net framework installation

Attempted Resolutions:

Ive uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times, first client, then the full package.

I ran the .net setup verifier and the last 4 lines of the log are

[10/06/11,23:52:02] Launching process 'Netfx40TestApplication.exe' now
[10/06/11,23:52:02] Process successfully launched. Waiting 300 seconds for it to complete.
[10/06/11,23:52:06] ****ERROR**** Process 'Netfx40TestApplication.exe' exited with return code -2146232575
[10/06/11,23:52:06] ****ERROR**** Verification failed for product .NET Framework 4 Full

Im very computer savy but this ones got me stumped
help much appreciated

Welcome to Seven Forums blackbelt27. There are many threads on the web of people with similar problems. Most don't have solutions, but here are some steps recommended:

.NET Framework 4 installs, but verification fails and .NET4 Applications will not run.

One thing that is reported to work is a reformat A Repair Install may do it for you. Suggest (always) making a complete system image before attempting anything.

there is no solution yet to this problem? Now i can't run my turbo tax software b/c of some crap .net framework problem

You might try the .NET Framework Cleanup Tool.

.NET Framework Cleanup Tool User's Guide - Aaron Stebner's WebLog - Site Home - MSDN Blogs

But as above, I'll always suggest making a complete system image before trying. Either with Windows:

Backup Complete Computer - Create an Image Backup

Or a good 3rd party software.

cleanup tool, verification, registry patches done it all with no success. I know what i have to do but i just refuse to reinstall everything. Thanks though

What are the windows services that are required for the .net 4.0 framework install?

Please list all that are specifically needed for the install.

Thanks

Have a look at this page and see if it helps you.
