Hello fellow travelers in the nightmare land of computer corruption - I've been here since 1960 with several computers under my control pretty much every day since then.
I tried to install Quicken2017 but it failed to install - error message: "Framework Installation failed with error code: (0x80070643), "Fatal error during installation"
I tried going back to the restore point I created (Win7 Pro 64b) prior to the Quicken 2017 installation attempt but the restore process didn't complete. @#$%^&*()!
Since then I have spent many hours over many days trying to re-install .NETFrameworkv4.0.30319 (called fro by Jing and I believe appropriate for Quicken 2016) and a self-styled "JustAnswer" expert tried for several hours to do the same install without success.
I can't use Quicken 2016 or Jing or several other programs that rely on .NETFramework
I have a complete DriveImage XML backup of my C drive immediately after the failed Quicken Install - it is a file backup - not an image (which would be useless in the circumstance).
I have about 208 applications installed on my computer - Reinstalling them one by one is a nightmare I'd really like to avoid - just for the sake of gettingt .NETFramework back in its right mind
How should I proceed?
Any help really, really appreciated
