This might be due to a bad installation file. You could start by using the .NET Cleanup tool http://astebner.sts.winisp.net/Tools/dotnetfx_cleanup_tool.zip to completely uninstall all Framework bits from your machine and then reinstall the .NET Framework 3.5 redist from http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/0/f/60fc5854-3cb8-4892-b6db-bd4f42510f28/dotnetfx35.exe.
