Issue instaling .net 4.5.2 through windows update and offline update.

[torchwood]

Hi Gr3y,
If IIS is OFF now and you have reset Internet options, no need to do them again.

The merge failure:-
Were going to do it in SAFE mode
Safe Mode

reset Windows module installer as before

REBOOT -- back to normal mode

Try NF 3.5.


Right as for the repair disc,

Folks, led here by my nose What is the reason for trying to get net.framework running? Is it because Quicken and/or TurboTax no longer runs and comes up with the dreaded "Net Framework XXXX is not installed"? This has been noted at the Quicken Forums:
Q17 stopped working (will not start up) in win 10 beyond build 15002 | Quicken Customer Community

What happened in Windows 10 FAST RING was that Microsoft rolled out a new version of Net Framework in Win10 which is incompatible with Quicken and TurboTax. Basically, these programs look for version 4.6 and it is no longer there. Perhaps it goes back as far as a version 3.5.1 or whatever you are trying to run.
The question is, did MS do the same update in Windows 7 (which is certainly NOT on the FAST Ring Win10 preview)? Since I no longer have a Win7 machine running, I cannot check the registry. Nor can I find the 4.7.02032 value in a FIND command in the reg editor. So you will have to do it the hard way:
Open registry Editor. click on the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE folder. Do a search on "NET Framework Setup" (EDIT>Find box) and see if you can find it. Is there an NDP folder? Does it open up into a bunch of versions of Net.framework? Is there a v4 version? If so, see if there is a Full and Client folders. If you open one of these up, is there a line that says: Version 4.7.02XXXX? If there is, there IS A SOLUTION here:
Quicken 2017 and TurboTax 2016 win10 ver 15007 registry changes. - Windows 10 Forums
You will need to change the value to 4.6.02XXXX as Quicken and TurboTax does not recognize the new net.framework version and spits out a totally erroneous massage about a previous version not be installed (a simple programming error on Quickens part). Try my solution above.
If you are trying to get the Net Framework running for some other reason, post the reason why.

Roy, My brain is fried and I'm frustrated today, so sorry. I don't want to waste your time and you have been most helpful.

I verified that IIS is turned off.
My attempt to reset the Windows Modules Installer in safe mode failed as it did before.
I read and reread your comments about a possible Repair Install and that it would not lose personal data but I did see it may reset some minor things to default values, I can certainly live with that. I don't look forward to redoing all of the Windows updates so hope that doesn't happen.

Also read your caveat about the OEM version having a 24 hour limit so I thought I might try to get that ready before the expiration. I located my Product Key and went to Microsoft in an effort to create the W7 SP1 ISO file and that failed because MS knew my copy of the OS was installed by the manufacturer and I needed to go there. I did but could not find where I might do that. The manufacturer was aware that I had created a recovery file but that's not what I want....right?

As for my tax returns, thanks for the heads up. I do have them on multiple external drives and they are also encrypted.

I will be unavailable all day tomorrow. Hopefully you will still be willing to continue to work with me on this project and I also hope my head will be a little clearer after stepping away from the problem for a short time.

Thanks again Roy!

Folks, I am subscribed to this thread. Should I bow out? Does this thread have ANYTHING to do with TurboTax or Quicken? If not, please reply so I can get off of this thread and leave you guys alone, heh.

Hi Torchwood,

I'm back and need to level set a little.

Since the only service that I could not do the merge on was the "windows module installer" and the error I received was "Not all data was successfully written to the registry.........", I recopied just that service to my desktop again.

Rebooted into safe mode

Attempted the merge again and got the same error as before "Not all data......"

FYI I did acquire from a friend, the W7 SP1 ISO on a DVD.

Hi Gr3y,
did you download SP1 from the link >> I << gave you.

Roy

 

[gr3yrider]

Hi Roy,

Again I apologize for any confusion I may have caused. Is the download in the 1st attachment the one you are referring to? If so, no I did not download that, I was unsuccessful in attempting to install NF 3.5 and didn't move to the next step and your note said that link would only be valid for 24 hrs.

To hopefully clarify, I only indicated that I was given the IOS disk by a friend. I have not, nor do I intend to use it unless it would simplify the process. I plan to follow your instructions to the best of my ability, as long as you are willing to help me.

Loooooong day today

Hi Roy,

Sorry, life can drag me in other directions sometimes.

I put in a long day today but I have completed the Repair install and applied ~210 Microsoft updates.

I have a working system but still a lot to do. I'm quite sure I don't have NF ver 4.5.2 and the Registry confirms this. The encouraging part is that I didn't get the nag message when I brought it up that Logitech needed .NET Framework and I have actually successfully opened my Quicken app. BTW right before I started the process I thought I would take a backup of just the Windows files but the Netgear Genie software for my router also required .NET Framework.

Tomorrow I will begin again. Should I start with attempting the NF 3.5 install? I noticed I had several MS Security updates for .NET Framework 3.5.1 that seemed to work.

Regardless of how this goes from this point forward, I cannot thank you enough for getting me this far. I really do appreciate your patience as well as your experience and expertise, thanks.

still wondering

Hi Roy,

I need to ask a couple of questions of you.

In looking back at some of our prior communications I note that in the first attached note you asked me to do the following; see my first attachment. I have done this.

In the second attached note you indicated you had looked to see if 4 needed any of 3 and that you had found none. I interpreted this to mean that the installation of ver 4.? of .NET Framework didn't necessarily require any existence of .Net Framework ver 3.?. Hope I got that right.

In that same note you gave me a link that takes me to the installation for 3.5. Do you still want me to begin with 3.5? My first reason for asking is because you hadn't found any requirements for 4 to have any of 3.

My other reason for asking is before the repair install I was getting error messages when I attempted to run Quicken as well as other products like Netgear Genie because there was no .NET Framework V 4.0. I don't know if this indicates that there is something present that prevents that message since the repair install.

I really apologize for my apprehension on this issue but I would not welcome another day long repair install unless it was absolutely necessary.

One other question, When this whole issue started I was attempting to install TurboTax and received a message that it required .NET Framework 4.5.2 but it would be installed at that time if I authorized it, which I did and that failed???
