I've been making a clean install on windows 7 and it still wont exist plus it wont show up in add or remove programs. Also, I've tried searching everywhere. nothing helps. _________________
Have you tried installing as Administrator? Not an account that has Admin privies but the actual Administrator account?
Sounds like a permissions issue. You can also try to install it, and wait for the error when it pops go into Administrative Tools, and check the Event Log to see if it gives more detail about what went wrong.
I did a bit of searching Windows 7 by default has .NET 3.5 built in, but doesn't appear to play nice with things developed pre that build. It also looks like this has been an issue with Win7 since 2009. _________________

This has been known forever, from Vista through to Windows 7.
The solution to it is simple, and was posted on mydigitallife website ages ago (do a search for "mydigitallife net 1.1").
Otherwise here is a a copy/paste to install .Net 1.1 and SP1 into Vista or Win7 (32 or 64 bit).
1. Create a new folder named DotNetin C:\ drive (C:\DotNet is used in this guide, you can change to any folder you prefer, but ensure that you use correct path in the following steps).
2. Download Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Redistributable Package (dotnetfx.exe ). Make sure the setup file is saved asdotnetfx.exe .
3. Download Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 (NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe ). Make sure that the file is renamed and saved asdotnetfxsp1.exe , so that the rest of the steps can be followed easily.
4. Move both installation files into the same directory (i.e. C:\DotNet), if you’re not saving them together.
5. Open command prompt as Administrator .
6. Change to the directory where the two installation setup files for .NET 1.1 are saved (i.e. C:\DotNet).
7. Run the following commands one by one, press Enter after each one.
* dotnetfx.exe /c:"msiexec.exe /a netfx.msi TARGETDIR=C:\DotNet"
* Then click on “Yes” when prompted to answer “would you like to install Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1. Package?”
* dotnetfxsp1.exe /Xp:C:\DotNet\netfxsp.msp
* msiexec.exe /a c:\DotNet\netfx.msi /p c:\DotNet\netfxsp.msp
Install Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1 with slipstreamed/integrated Service Pack 1 by runningnetfx.msi created in the working folder.
Just sub your installer for the 1.1 and skip the slipstream section.
Hope this helps. _________________
