While trying to fix the KB953297 error ( by using the .Net framework removal tool) i unistalled .net framework 1.1 cause it would not let me uninstall it otherwise, then used add or remove programs to remove all other versions and updates. Then i deleted all the extra left behind files in the Microsoft.net folder, then after reboot tried to install 3.5 as someone instructed would be best first, then it gave me and error saying that it needed 3.0 installed, tried to install 3.0 and got an error, went down to 2.0 got an error, then 1.1 got an error, 1.0 also got an error. I think i left behind registry that will not allow the installations to complete but i'm not sure which values.1 person needs an answerI do too
