How to repair an existing installation of the .NET Framework
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;306160
Steps to repair the .NET Framework installation
1. Obtain the original installation source. For example, if you installed the .NET
Framework from a CD-ROM or from a DVD, insert that disc. If you downloaded the .NET
Framework , download the .NET Framework again. Make sure that you click save to disk. If
you installed the .NET Framework from a network share, reconnect to that share.
2. Click Start, click Run, type the following command, and then click OK:
N:\dotnetframework\dotnetfx.exe /t:c:\temp /c:"msiexec.exe /i c:\temp\netfx.msi
REINSTALL=ALL ReinstallMODE=vomus"
Note Replace N:\ in this command syntax with the original installation path.
Important If you do not have a C:\temp folder on your computer, create one before
you run this command.
The Microsoft Windows Installer will verify and repair the .NET Framework installation.
