I am trying to install Web Matrix on my Windows 7 machine.

http://www.microsoft.com/web/webmatrix/

When I click on "Install WebMatrix", the installer complains that .NET 2.0 is not installed. So it tries to install .NET 2.0 . However, installing .NET 2.0 fails because Windows 7 already has .NET 2.0.

Got it? me neither.

I tried uninstalling .NET 3.5 feature. Same problem. Then reinstall. Same problem.

Any advice? (other than "Windows 7 already includes .NET 2.0")

Have you uninstalled the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 feature in "Programs and Features"? .NET 2.0 is included in this (because 3.5 is 2.0 with extensions).

Try removing .NET 3.5 and then cleaning it completely with blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2008/08/28/8904493.aspx – ta.speot.is Apr 23 '11 at 6:06
this tool does not remove .net 2.0 from windows 7 – user55114 Apr 23 '11 at 7:28
