Hi Simone,

Thanks for your persistence. I removed all versions of the Framework and restarted. Just to verify, this is the version I need to install:
Download details: .NET Framework 3.5 Service pack 1

This is the file I was installing:

Full Package
To download the full package, rather than the bootstrapper, click on the link below:
.NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 (Full Package)

But below it, it says this:

IMPORTANT: After installing the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 package (either the bootstrapper or the full package) you should immediately install the update KB959209 to address a set of known application compatibility issues.

Should I not install that too?

Also, before I perform the reinstall of the framework, should i/do i need to delete any folders or files that might be left over from the previous installations? (ie WINDOWS/assembly/GAC, etc.) I only ask because I've installed the above file before and don't feel optimistic that the outcome this time will be any different.

Lastly, I'm using Aaron Stebner's .NET removal tool, found here:

Is this not the way I should uninstall? Would it leave pieces of the framework that would make a mediaportal installation fail upon reinstalling?
