I'm trying to install .NET 3.5 on WinXP SP3 and I get a Visual Studio Error.

I've been looking at other threads with similar problems but I'm having major internet hassles and it takes me forever to see anything..
So far I didn't find a fix for my problem. I did find a thread a couple of years old about a very similar problem: with WIC. I had that problem back then. I fixed that. Following that thread. And now I've got this.
I'm currently trying to download the 3.5 full install from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=22 but, as I said, internet problems of some kind. It's just not coming down and the page itself seems incomplete - like there's no colour and there's no download button, just all the text. I appear to get something happening when I click on the text for
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1
but nothing comes down.
Would this be the way for me to go to attack this problem?
What about attempting an uninstall of whatever .NET frameworks might currently be installed?
