Solved Problem - dotnefx Net Framework 2.0 3.5 not installing in WinXP

the solution is just install this hotfix (its actually a hotfix for .msi 
installer - but it solves the problem anyhow !!!)  ---> 
WindowsXP-KB942288-v3-x86.exe  <---  Windows Installer 4.5 Redistributable 
which can be found here :

i was experiencing the same trouble trying to update my Windows Xp Pro SP3 
(this works for SP2 also as far as i know) which gave me all kinds of errors 
and didnt allow to install " Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 " or the " 
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 SP1 "  or even the " Microsoft .NET Framework 
2.0 "

i am now super programmer and i have read about some 
dotnetfx.cleanup.tool.zip - no need for it !!!!!

after installing this official fix restart your system and then install your 
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 !!!!


*i had managed to install up to .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 so prior to updating 
to .NET Framework 3.5 SP1  just after installing the hotfix i first installed 
the NDP20SP2-KB958481-x86 (.NET Framework 2.0 SP2 hotfix)*

hope this works for all of you getting the error ! it sure made my day :)

We shall alert the media...
