.net framework 2.5 and 3.5 download problems Hi, when I try to install these I have got errors saying unable to install. I had given up but now I am trying to download Microsoft Visual Basic Express 2008 for which the .net framework downloads are a prerequisite. The Visual Basic page organises the download of these for me but again on trying to install it doesn't happen. Any tips? Cheers

Download the redistributable packages here. http://tinyurl.com/2xfnmn

Install those that you need from the links at the Bottom of the page & THEN install your prg.

After final release... they stopped the download of individual installs - either online install or download the entire Visual Studio iso. I did the full download, once burnt to disc you can choose what apps to install, .net 3.5 went in ok.

Russ18 Did YOU bother to check the link I supplied. The redistributable's are STILL available & IN FACT . . I downloaded them LAST NIGHT.

Whats with the YELLING on ODD words I DONT see Visual Basic Express 2008 on your link JUST .net FRAMEWORK. and what's available now has NOTHING to do with the end of Beta and START of FINAL release back in NOVEMBER last YEAR when I had to DOWNLOAD the entire VS.

LOL, hang on Russ You were complaining of not being able to install the 3.5 dotnet framework, SO I simply offered some good links to the files. I have seen this problem before with other prg's that need dotnet & this is how myself & others have resolved it.

LOL mmmm Am i missing a link here somewhere smarteevia posted the problem & you APPEAR to be claiming it now.

What?? Where am I claiming the problem?? Will reword. There are two ways of installing VBExpress2008, first is online install, second is full download of Visual Studio, burn to disc then install just VB (plus whatever else you want). I chose the full download and had no problems with the .net 3.5. Wasn't really offering an easy solution but just that the second option worked for me.
