How do I fix Corrupted Microsoft .Net Files on windows 8.1

HI,

Recently I have upgraded my windows 8 into windows 8.1.Once upon a time I had messed up with .net frameworks & deleted all of it's folders while fixing something.Then I have re-installed .net framework 4.5.2 version.But I am facing some problems now.

Issues:

1) Following .exe files are not opening in my laptop

- Both AMD & Intel graphics driver software is not opening
- Razer Gamebooster & handbrake tool is not opening

2) Eventviewer is not working which displays some errors after opening it

3) I could not able to install some .exe files which does not display any errors


Note: I could not able to install .net version 4 . While installing it displays 'Same version or higher version has been already installed'
How do I fix this problem? Why some .exe files are not opening & installing in my PC?

System Info:
Directx 11
.Net framework 4.5.2
Windows 8.1 Single Language

Solution
OS: Windows 8.1 Single Language Edition

I have solved this problem after one month & Found a solution myself.I have realized that .Net files are corrupted. I re-installed everything & tried SFC Scan, DISM Methods but none of them worked.And also I could not Proceed 'Refresh my PC' after upgrading from windows 8 to windows 8.1

Steps I followed to Resolve this Problem

You can find .Net Installation Folders here.

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft.NET


Before Proceeding I have taken backup of .Net Folders Which I mentioned above.To resolve this issue I have deleted those .Net files after entering into SafeMode

1) I have installed 'Windows 8.1 Single Language Edition' Virtually in my VMware Workstation by using ISO
2) After installing that, I have Copied .Net Installation Folders from that Virtual Machine OS in VMware
3) Then I have Pasted that .Net Folders from my Virtual machine to my Host Machine(Original OS) at this following path
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft.NET

4) Now Everything is Working fine


P.S: Thanks for Eight Forums members who spent their valuable time & tried to help me.

I have several versions of the net framework---

All I know to do is try these commands in an administrator command prompt.
You can let them run in the background.
Other than that, restoring or reinstalling your OS are options to consider.
Or wait for other responses with better options. :)

CMDs to run---

Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
sfc /scannow
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
sfc /scannow

In that order.
Then reboot.

Did you uninstall .NET or just "deleted" them as you wrote. You should never delete program folders until the program is uninstalled. Your system probably sees the registry settings and .dll(dynamic link libraries) that point to nowhere now. Go to this thread to post #2 and follow Davids' instructions using an elevated command prompt.

Follow Davids' instructions(David it looks like you were faster posting than I was, I sent him to where you had helped some one else:D) and that should repair your mmc snap-ins at least. This can happen when dll's get corrupted or when using a theme patcher for shell themes.

P.S: Worst Part is, I have downloaded 20GB game (Dragon Age-Inquisition) which I could not able to install it's setup due to this problem :cry::cry:

You do not delete or uninstall .net frameworks.
You remove the checks to turn them off.
Keep the checks to turn them on.

If you deleted anything, you messed up. :(

Yup. right click the :winkey: icon choose Command Prompt(Admin) then type( or better yet cut and paste each line) without the number let each one run through(the Dism command can take a long time):
1.
Code:
Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
2.
Code:
sfc /scannow
3
Code:
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
4.
Code:
sfc /scannow
Also I found this at Microsoft support A .NET repair tool:
The Microsoft .NET Framework Repair Tool detects frequently occurring issues that affect the Microsoft .NET Framework setup or updates. The tool tries to resolve those issues by applying known fixes or by repairing the corrupted installations of the supported .NET Framework versions. The tool has an easy-to-use wizard-based user interface (UI). It also supports command line usage together with more advance options.
maybe it can help too.

This is what Dism is according to Microsoft:
Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) is a command-line tool used to service Windows® images offline before deployment. You can use it to install, uninstall, configure, and update Windows features, packages, drivers, and international settings. Subsets of the DISM servicing commands are also available for servicing a running operating system.
It should repair the corrupt files. you might have to go through these commands with rebooting a few times(3-4) to repair every thing. the reboots are because windows is using or trying to use the files being repaired. You might also want to try it in safe mode. to remember the commands just save this page by clicking the gear icon go to file and save as, then reboot into safe mode and open an Admin Command Prompt.

Thanks for the information.I am ready to do this. Though I am having some queries before proceeding this.

Does this procedure cause my system unstable if anything goes wrong?

Does this process will affect my data or installed softwares or OS?

1. No, It's actually good procedure to do it once a month, especially before making a system image back-up, and after patch Tuesday updates.
2.No

1. No, It's actually good procedure to do it once a month, especially before making a system image back-up, and after patch Tuesday updates.
2.No

It's okay!!! You have given two DSIM commands to run. Right!!

Does both commands have same process & features?

Which command do I need to run first from that both DSIM?

Run every thing one after the other. To learn more go to this tutorial from Brink. to answer your question though componentcleanup cleans your WinSxS folder:The WinSxS folder is located in the Windows folder, for example
C:\Windows\WinSxS. It’s the location for Windows Component Store files. The Windows Component Store is used to support the functions needed for the customization and updating of Windows. Here are some examples of how the Windows Component Store files are used:


  • Using Windows Update to install new component versions. This keeps systems secure and up-to-date.
  • Enabling or disabling Windows features.
  • Adding roles or features using Server Manager.
  • Moving systems between different Windows Editions.
  • System recovery from corruption or boot failures.
  • Uninstalling problematic updates.
  • Running programs using side-by-side assemblies.

RestoreHealth - (recommended) This switch option checks for component store corruption, records the corruption to the log file, and FIXES the image corruption using Windows Update. This should take around 10-15 minutes up to about an hour to finish depending on the level of corruption
