.NET Framework 3.5 won't install...
Alright, this is my first forum post ever. Usually I can find solutions to my problems by lurking, but not this time apparently.
So my problem is this: I'm trying to install "Remove Empty Directories" (Remove Empty Directories | SourceForge.net), but .NET Framework 3.5 is one of its dependencies. The installer for RED downloaded .NET for me and attempted to install it, but it gave me an error saying that I can only install it through the Turn on or off Windows Features dialog. Well, I go there and the Microsoft .NET framework 3.5 isn't listed. Then I downloaded the .NET install and attempted that, but it told me the same thing about using the Windows Features dialog. I ran a .NET cleanup utility thing and repeated all the above steps but received the same results.
When I installed Windows I customized my install and I may have gotten overzealous with "streamlining" my install. It's been over 6 months since I installed Windows so I don't remember all the details of what I did, but this is the first time I've seen any negative result of my stripped down version.
Has anyone had a similar problem? What can I do to fix this?
