.net Framework4 Failed to Install

[pepper2]

am endeavouring to install WordPress on to my computer to do some layout experiments, etc.

I have used WEBPI to do the installation. I have got ILS installed OK.
The next step involves the installation of .Net Framework4.
The files download OK but the installation fails with an error code : (0xC8000222).
Here is a copy of the log file of the failure:

End of log file

My computer is running Windows 7, Intel Core I3, 4 GB of Ram, 1TB HDD. Broadband connection through cable.

This is an error code common to other software installations according to a survey I carried out on the net.

Any assistance will be appreciated.

Looks like you can get that error, if the WU folder is corrupt.

Try this then try again

1. Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter. Please run the following command in the opened window.

net stop WuAuServ

2. Click Start, Run, type: %windir% and press Enter.
3. In the opened folder, rename the folder SoftwareDistribution to SDold.
4. Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter.

Please run the following command in the opened window.

net start WuAuServ

Did you download it Via windows update or by a standalone installer ?

Several times I have had the web based (updates version) fail and had to use the standalone installer Available here

Thank you folks
I used speedy Gonzale's method and it worked - WordPress is now installed.
Wainuitech - for your information I used both methods and neither worked.

Thank you both for your prompt replies - it was appreciated.

Sweet good to hear its fixed

Corruption within the SoftwareDistribution folder is often the cause of windows updates not installing. Normally I would just delete the folder after stopping the services if there was a failure with the Web updates.

Good that its going again.
