Ok - thanks chemelli for that.
I had to install .NET 3.5 SP1. which is a 248MB download.
That apparently makes sp3 complete. Prior to that it appears to MP installer as incomplete I guess.
Now the installation works.
Just for good measure i reinstalled .net 2.0 redistributable.
I went to windows update (in IE) and selected in the left tab all in critical/severe/optional (i think they were the breakdowns) regardless i clicked everything except IE 8.0 to be installed.
I suggest you all do that to.
Thanks again moderators
