Hello,
I am trying to install ArcGIS 10.1 which requires .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. I have Win8 basic 64bit, which came preinstalled on a HP Envy Desktop.
First, I tried the 'Windows Features", but there is NO option to select the .NET Framework 3.5 (had screenshot, but not verified).
I tried selecting 'Application Development Features', but get the error:
The system has attempted to load or restore a file into the registry but the specified file is not in a registry file format.
Error code: 0x800703F9
So then I download the .NET Framework 3.5 exe (dotnetfx35setup).
I run it in admin mode, and click yes to allow it to make changes to my computer, then absolutely nothing happens. I also try the same with the 3.5 standalone installer.
I then try using a Windows 8 bootable DVD (which was a difficult process considering HP don't provide a Disc, and the Microsoft site didn't like the OEM license to download the iso from them) and using the Dism cmd:
Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFx3 /All /Source:f:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess
This gives me another error:
Error:1017
The system has attempted to load or restore a file into the registry but the specified file is not in a registry file format.
What can I try next? Thanks for any help.
Regards.
