FYI...

I know what you are going through as I am myself.

Two days I have been trying to install SQL Server 2008 on a new WIndows 2008 Server and "Nada".

I have...

NetFramework 3.5 is installed

did it twice

checked registry

checked C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET folder

I still don't get it

there is no log on the sql servere 2008 install failure, just that stupid msg about NetFramework 3.5

Stumped...

Hi Lynn

i will look for logs

SP1 is also installed on it for .Net Framework 3.5

Thanks

Jim
