Framework 3.0 in OS, need Framework 2.0 for SQL Server 2005

Hi,

Can anybody help me with the following problem:

I have Vista Ultimate installed and within Vista .NET Framework 3.0 is installed as a part of the operating system so I can't remove 3.0

Now for MS SQL Server 2005 Express I need .NET Framework 2.0 and the SQL Server 2005 doesn't work with .NET Framework 3.0

Can't install 2.0, get the message that 3.0 is already installed.

Please help me!!

.NET 3.0 is actually an addon for the 2.0 framework.

Check out http://www.sqlskills.com/blogs/bobb/2007/09/19/SQLServer2008AndNETFrameworkVersions.aspx for more information.

Vista Ultimate actually comes with .NET Framework 2.0 installed by default. So it is already there.

If you check the \windows\microsoft.net\framework directory you should see v2.0.50727 and this is the .NET Framework 2.0 so SQL Server 2005 should not ask to install it.

Hi,

The directory is there but still SQL Server 2005 give the error-message ".NET Framework 2.0 is not installed or damaged on this computer". I run Vista Ultimate on 32-bit machine. Is there a way to re-install .NET Framework? Already installed SDK and hoped that with that installation Framework 2.0 would be re-installed but that didn't work either :-(

Tried to call Microsoft but they charge € 300 for trying to solve my problem, no garantuees..

If I was sure that a new installation of Vista would solve the problem I would do that, but can't see why a new installetion would solve the problem.. Is there a way to re-install the .NET Framework-software?

I would check out this post:

But I am not sure that there is an easier way to get this fixed. Because they are OS components, you would have to do some sort of repair.
