I tried to install .NET 3.5 Framework using windows 8 features (turn on or off).
But the window is empty like in the attachment (Image1).
when I tried to install from the Microsoft site it showed a window with two option of skip feature and preparing after that it was replaced by a window like the one shown in Image2.
Can you help me with this problem ?
Applications like Adobe Reader or Office 2007 don't work.
Did you do an upgrade install? Did you problems appear suddenly, or have them been present for quite a while. Doing a clean install, a refresh, or a reset may be your answer. But, in the interim, you could:
1. do a system restore to an earlier point where everything was working OK;
2. run sfc /scannow (may need to run multiple times--say 3); and
3. try creating a new user account of the same type with which you typically login. Copy everything you will need to the new account (from C: > Users > Old User Account) if the new account works. Then, delete the old account. You can go back to the original user name similarly. Before you do so, make sure that deleting the original user account also deleted that user's folder in C: > Users. Sometimes this folder does not get deleted. If not, then going back to the original user name creates a minor only superficial "problem." To delete the folder, you may have to take ownership. I would not go back the original user name using any other procedure.
my problem was with the most recent update
Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows 8 x86 (KB2789650)
this is the Error details: Code 80073712 that I receive
