Hi
I have installed Windows 7 pro installed on my pc on 'C' partition. Have two other spare partitions D and E drives. I download Windows Server 2008 with genuine key. I have tried to install Windows Server 2008 R2 through setup.exe file. I created bootable dvd which does not boot. Each time I run setup file I get error:
"Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 installation has failed.
SQL Server 2008 Setup requires .NET Framework to be installed."
I came across this website while searching for answers:
{
So, if it can’t find it, it won’t install it. According to the developer team at Microsoft, the error code means the setup can't determine the version of .NET contained on the media for your architecture. Therefore, ensure your media contains the following paths and .NET EXE packages:
ia64\redist\DotNetFrameworks\dotNetFx35setup.exe
x86\redist\DotNetFrameworks\dotNetFx35setup.exe
x64\redist\DotNetFrameworks\dotNetFx35setup.exe
If you find the dotNetFx35setup.exe among the installation files, you can create these paths, and rerun setup again. This particular fix has gotten me past the .NET v.3.5 failed error.
}
My question is where do I create the above path is it on my pc which has Windows 7 Pro installed or do I create above path in the installation files I have on dvd or copied files of server 2008 on my D drive?
Please can someone advise me, I cannot seem to get pass this error:
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 installation has failed.
SQL Server 2008 Setup requires .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 to be installed.
I have checked my Windows 7 Pro installed on C drive, .NET 3.5 and 4.0 versions are installed.
Not sure how to get past this error?
Please can someone help?

Your post is a bit difficult to read because you mix up Windows (server) 2008 and SQL Server 2008 at several moments in the text.
If I understand your question correct you'll have to create the path to the .NET executable on your Windows drive (C:). Read through the whole error log files to see if more files are missing.
I've had a similar problem when a Windows root drive was cleaned up for solving a space issue. Later when installing a service pack for SQL it was unable to find several installation executables and msi's (like .NET) and failed to install. At the end I manually copied several files from other servers untill all relations to files could be solved.
