Windows 8.1 DotNet 3.5 will not install

I have several all in one's. We recently moved to active directory. I have one application that requires dotnet 3.5 be enabled. Following the command:
dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /Source:E:\sources\sxs
which is listed in several places does not work. I ended up having to follow B1-Alesk advice from here:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/f4217b5c-4341-4c6a-99be-46a178b34132/i-am-unable-to-install-net-35-on-windows-8?forum=W8ITProPreRel
1.open run (win key +r )
2.enter: gpedit.msc
3.Expand Computer Configuration, expand Administrative Templates, and then select System.
4.Open the Specify settings for optional component installation and component repair Group Policy setting, and then select Enabled.
Restart your pc, then repeat the Windows Update method or DISM method in cmd.
This worked for me. I am baffled though. My question is, why can I not load/enable dotnet 3.x from the dvd? Do group policies forbid any other source even local sources?
Thank you.

Hi,
The reason might be the group policy settings in domain.
Usually when we enable .Net 3.5 through Turn Windows features on or off, it will download the needed files through Windows Update (which should be what DarienHawk67 suggested), and if
we specify the source to an WIM file, the policy you found out will be used.
See this blog for details:
Windows 8 and .Net Framework 3.5

I've been trying to install itunes on windows 7 but apple mobile device will not install

I've finally managed to narrow the problem down to the following file:
C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Temp\Rar$DIa0.119\AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi: The archive is corrupt
this is the file delivered with itunes and it's definitely causing the problem because when I try to install one I downloaded from
http://www.javakrypt.com/itunes/
it installed ok, however when I try to run itunes the amd driver is installed the ipod connects but itunes has a version issue with the AMD driver and asks for a reinstallation of itunes.
My question to apple is where can I download an incorrupted AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi file for the latest release of itunes, and can you pleas everify that the version you are deploying with the current version is not corrupted.(The first file I see when I extract the MSI file has a random character file name with no modified date and a size of 16640. WInrar refuses to extract any files from the msi file.
I believe many people are having this problem and if they can get this file it may their problem as well.

OK I've fixed the problem and my thanks go to redmars.com.au (link below plus copy of solution)
http://www.redmars.com.au/blog/itsupport/327
To summarise what I did I
0. the pnputil -e uninstallation didn't work for me so
1. modified the permissions on the C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\netaapl64.inf_amd64_neutral_hexidecidforyourcomputer folder so that I could access it
2. I deleted the files in this folder
3. Retried the install from command line with log file enabled but it still rolled back, but in the log file I noted it wasn't finding the netaapI64 files and when I checked the above folder these files were missing.
4. I tried copying the files from the msi file using winrar but this failed passing a file corrupted error message and files copied had a zero byte size (i.e. empty)
5. I copied the files from a friends folder who didn't have this problem files are (netaapI64.cat, netaapI64.inf, netaapI64.PNF, netaapI64.sys and wdfcoinstaller01009.dll)
6. retried the install from the command line and it worked. Started itunes connected itouch, it installed the drivers and the itouch appeared in itunes.
I can now access my ipod from itunes.
The only problem now you face now is how to get the uncorrupted files detailed above. Does anyone have a solution to this? Winrar states files are corrupted. but they obviously aren't otherwis ethe installation wouldn't work.
text for solution here follows :
I recently came across a problem on a Windows 7 64bit laptop where Apple's iTunes was failing to recognise a connected iPhone. It was giving a error that the wrong version of iTunes was installed and I should install the 64bit version of iTunes. As I had no idea how what had been performed up until this point I performed a full uninstall of iTunes. I then downloaded the latest version of iTunes 10.5.1 and ran through the installer. At one point during the install I noticed the install gave the message 'Rolling back action' and thought to myself this cannot be good.
At the end iTunes indicated it had a problem installing and I should try again. The weird thing is if you didn't pay attention to the message you could quite easily click on ok and iTunes will work except it'll fail to recognise any iPod, iPhone or iPad device. To help identify what actually failed to install I checked the windows services management console and found the Apple Mobile Device Service was missing. This makes sense because it's that service which communicates with the iPhone. The question is why was the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) failing to install?
To find out I needed to capture a log file of the install process. A bit of research helped me identify that the iTunes64Setup.exe contained 5 separate windows installer files:
AppleApplicationSupport.msi
AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi
AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi
Bonjour64.msi
iTunes64.msi
I needed to extract AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi from iTunes64Setup.exe so I could generate a install log. The solution is to install WinRAR which you can download here http://rarlab.com/download.htm. After extracting AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi to c:\temp (you can use any folder you like here) I opened a command prompt and issued these commands:
cd c:\temp
msiexec -i AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi -log AMDS.log
This will attempt to install the AMDS and generate an installation log c:\temp\AMDS.log. Looking through the log I found the install failed because the format of C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\netaapl64.inf_amd64_neutral_dc2c bd989eec1514\netaapl64.inf was invalid. I opened the file in question and found it to be completely blank. I coulnd't just delete the files in question because they are protected by the Windows operating system, and anyway the correct method to remove a driver package from the driver store is to use the pnputil.exe tool. However if the driver package didn't complete installation in the first place then it may not work, but it was always worth a try.
To use pnputil I needed to run a command prompt as an administrator. I Clicked Start, All Programs, and Accessories, then right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as Administrator. From the command prompt type I typed in pnputil.exe -e. This produced a list of installed driver packages. Looking through the list I was looking for something like this:
Published name : oem30.inf Driver package provider : Apple Class : Network adapters Driver date and version : 07/12/2011 1.8.4.2 Signer name : Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher
This is the Apple network adapter driver. The important information here is the Published name oem30.inf. To uninstall the driver use the command pnputil -d oem30.inf (replace oem30.inf with the correct published name for your PC). After this try and the install again: msiexec -i AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi -log AMDS.log. If this fails or as in my case the driver package doesn't show in the list of installed drivers you'll need to take more drastic (and potentially dangerous to your PC's health!) measures.
By default the files in the driver repository are read only and can only be modified by the Windows Operating System, and this is for a good reason. I needed to change the permissions on the driver package so I could delete the corrupt files. Caution proceed at your own risk, make a mistake here and your computer may stop working and a system restore or rebuild may be required.
The first thing I needed to do was to take ownership of the folder so I could change the permissions. From windows explorer I clicked on Folder and search options under the organize button. Next I clicked the view tab and clicked on Show hidden files, folders, and drives. By unticking hide extensions for known file types and unticking Hide protected operating system files I was able to view the files I needed to remove. From the windows explorer window I browsed to browse to C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\, which was now visible and right clicked the netaapl64.inf_amd64_neutral_dc2cbd989eec1514 folder and selected properties. I clicked the security tab and then the Advanced button. Under Advanced I clicked the Owner tab and then clicked the Edit button. From the change owner to: box I selected my username, and then ticked Replace owner on subcontainers and objects and clicked OK to set the changes.
Next I gave myself Full Control to the folder and files. Back on the Security tab I clicked the Edit button, and with Everyone highlighted in the Groups or user names I ticked full control in the Allow column. I clicked OK and accepted the warning message Windows presents about security and access problems. At this point I could delete the contents of the netaapl64.inf_amd64_neutral_dc2cbd989eec1514 folder.
I tried re-installing the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) using msiexec -i AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi -log AMDS.log command and I no longer got the Rolling back action error. All that I had left to do now was install iTunes again and the iPhone was now recognized when I connected it to the PC.

Windows XP mode with Virtual PC will not install / two problems

Hello! I posted this on the Microsoft Windows Answers forums and a moderator there suggested I post it here instead. I also searched here for similiar problems but did not find anyone having the exact same problem as I am having. Also for
some reason it won't let me post links, so I had to remove them.
I have Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) and I want to follow the instructions here:
LINK REMOVED
to install and run Virtual PC so I can see if some legacy XP software I have will work.
I am using a Lenovo W520 laptop with an i7 at 2.4ghz with 8GB of RAM.
I followed step 1/step 2 and downloaded the 500MB file for Windows XP Mode. I installed it.
Problem #1: There's a note at the bottom of the page which says "Once you have installed Windows XP Mode, click the Windows 7 Start button then select All Programs > Windows Virtual PC > Windows XP Mode to begin setup. For information on how
to set up Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP Mode, check out "Running Windows XP Mode with Windows Virtual PC" on the Support and Videos page. "
I am looking at the All Programs view and there's absolutely nothing which says "Windows Virtual PC" or "Windows XP Mode". I go look at Programs and Features in the control panel and indeed, Windows XP mode is installed (and taking up 1.13GB).
I uninstall it and re-download the 500mb file and re-install it. It still doesn't show up in the All Programs view, doesn't add an icon to my desktop or quick launch bar, or do anything which suggests a way to start it. It resides in C:\Program
Files\Windows XP Mode, but there are no executeable files there.
Problem #2: Step 3 says "Download Windows Virtual PC". When I click on that button, the download starts, but never works (I tried multiple times, including after a clean reboot, with nothing except Internet Explorer running) ; I get an error
window which says:
"Windows Update Standalone Installer
Installer encountered an error: 0x80070422
The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it."
What is going wrong?
Thanks.
Note; After posting this questio on Windows Answers, some related questions popped up and I read through them. One post points to a posting on the Sevenforums ->LINK REMOVED which suggests that Problem #2 is my real problem because I follow
along perfectly until step #5-E and then I get the 0x80070422 error message.

Problem 2 is the issue, without installing a virtualization program like WVPC, XP Mode can't be used.
Try this:
Method 1:
I would suggest you to follow the steps and check.
To start the Windows Installer service in Windows 7 checks the steps below.
a) Click on start.
b) Type Services.msc in the start search bar and press enter.
c) Scroll down and Double-click on the service named "Windows Installer".
d) Check the value in the 'Startup type:' field.
e) If it's currently set to "Disabled", then this could cause the issue.
f) Change it by selecting "Manual" from the drop-down box.
Method 2:
Step 1: Make sure Volume Shadow Copy Service is set to automatic and started. To do this, follow these steps:
a) Click on Start-Run, type services.msc, the click on OK.
b) When the Services window loads, navigate to the “Volume Shadow Copy Service ", the double click on it to open it,
c) Make sure the "Startup Type" says "Automatic" and
started. If it doesn't, use the drop down menu to change it.
d) If it already says: "Automatic", then click on the "Recovery" tab at the top, and change the "First Failure" line to "Restart the Service", then click on "apply", then OK.
Step 2: Run Check disk to fix any bad sectors on the hard drive.
a. Click on start and in the start search bar type CMD, right click on the command prompt icon in the programs area and then click on run as administrator.
b. At the command prompt type chkdsk /f and then press enter.
Now, type in chkdsk /r
Note: CHKDSK would try to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, during this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular sector.
Step 3: Disable the security software and then start the backup; follow the steps mentioned in the link below
Disable-antivirus-software
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Disable-antivirus-software
Important: Enable the security software back once everything is done.

Photosmart C7250 will not install with Windows 7

I have bought a new computer wth Windows 7. My Photosmart C7250 will not install on this operating system wirelessly or by USB. The driver will install so that I can print only when I plug it in, but I cannot achieve full functionality. When I try to install it over the wireless network,, it gives me a fatal error (code 14116417). The printer does connect to the wireless network, though. I have uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times, and have run out of options. Any ideas, besides buying new??? I really like this printer!!! And thank you in advance!

I is likely not your printer. Here are a couple of things to check:
1. Disable your security system's firewall.
2. Reboot your router and try again.
Tell me about your network - router brand/model, encryption type (WEP, WPA, etc) and ISP type (DSL, Cable, etc).

Windows 10 will not install

Acrobat Pro 10 will not install keeps rolling back

I am attempting to install Adobe Acrobat X on a Windows 7 64 Bit machine, it will not install, gets all the way to the end and then just starts rolling back says the installation was interrupted and that no changes were made to the system.
I ran the msi from the command line with verbose logging on to see if I could figure out where it fails but couldn't find the error (towards the end it lists many errors but it seems to just be a list of possible errors, not sure but I definately have admin right and ran the msi as an admin so at least those two don't make sense).
I don't understand why its not installing but I'm really ticked its not at least telling me why its not installing. I had adobe reader and flash on the computer and I was afraid they might be newer versions than just straight Pro X so I uninstalled everything adobe on the computer and it still won't install the Pro X.
Can someone take a look at my log file and see if they can tell what I'm doing wrong? It would be very appreciated.
Thanks, SW.

One thought. Have you tried downloading the updates (http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows) and installing directly, rather than doing updates through the help menu?

I am having a issue installing Adobe Acrobat XI. I am running Windows 8.1. When go to install it gets an error. The error is with transform in registry and will not install product. I am looking at how I can fix this registry problem.

I have tried to uninstall all Abode Acrobat installations but one file remains and refuses to be uninstalled. It gives me this error : Error applying Transforms . Verify that specified paths are valid. It was installed on Sept 18 2014. I have downloaded a Transform update but it tells I do not have a Adobe Acrobat product installed.

Hi all,
Sylonious, did you manage to sort this problem out? I have been experiencing similar problems. I think my problem was because I had many different versions of JDKs. I have done a complete re-install. I would be really grateful to you (and anyone else) for help with this problem.
I have re-installed JSDK1.4.2_03, set the "path" variable to "C:\JSDK1.4.2_03".
When I compile using "javac" I get an error saying "javac" is not recognised.
When I compile using "C:\j2sdk1.4.2_03\bin\javac Freq.java" no error is thrown.
Every time I try to run a java file, I always get the NoClassDefFound error. When run with the -verbose option, files are loaded from C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_03\bin - is this correct?
I have removed all previous references to java in the registry editor.
Please help !

Vipul

ITunes 11.2.2 for Windows x64 will not successfully install. Removed prior iTunes, and still will not install. 10.7 installs just fine, but constantly asks to upgrade to 11.2.2. Any Thoughts?

iTunes 11.2.2 for Windows x64 will not successfully install. Removed prior iTunes, and still will not install. 10.7 installs just fine, but constantly asks to upgrade to 11.2.2. Any Thoughts?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component won't install normally.
If needs be, the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility (MS Installer "Fixit") may be able to help force through the installation.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

CS3 will not install on Windows 7, 64-bit. No error message. Just stops installing. This is a brand new machine. This is one of the first things I'm installing on it. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. The disks are fine. I have the programs installed on my two XP machines.
