body: <p>Running VISTA 32bit.</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to install c# Visual Express 2008 - but it requires .NET 3.5. One of the prerequisites during the install is .NET 3.5 ... it attempts to install it but fails, with no real error message.</p>
  
  <p>So I downloaded .NET 3.5 standalone from MS website and tried that.Again it fails with the error </p>
  
  <blockquote>

I believe that 2005 runs Framework 2.0. 2005 express edition works fine. - its just the 2008 edition im having problems installed the .NET 3.5 with ....</p>
  
  <p>any ideas ? thanks</p>
