I am trying to install .NET framework 4.0 under Windows 7 but am getting an error with code 1406.



I checked the logs:



MSI (C:a002a771e38ece7ccanetfx_Core_x64.msi) Installation failed.  
Msi Log: Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Setup_20121229_020733440-MSI_netfx_Core_x64.msi.txt
Final Result: Installation failed with error code: (0x80070643),
"Fatal error during installation. " (Elapsed time: 0 00:02:15).


It all started with a cleanup tool for removing .NET 4.5 since I was trying to get rid of a linker error that it might have caused. However, after cleaning it up, I couldn't run both VS2010 and VS2012. Then, I uninstalled both IDE's and tried to install VS2010. That failed since I couldn't install .NET 4.0.



I really feel helpless and don't want to reinstall the whole OS from scratch. So what should I do?

  • @Karan, Yes, that's absolutely true. Never again. However, I was lucky since I was able to reinstall VS2012, and it fixed .net 4.0 and 4.5, and then installed VS2010, now both are fine.

    I had this problem on Windows 7 Ultimate N x64, when I was installing a Framework 4.0 security update.



    For me, the root cause was that I did not have System.Xml.Serialization.xml in my Framework 4.0 folders, for whatever reason.



    I had another Windows 7 x64 machine, so I copied the files from there:
    C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv4.0.30319System.Xml.Serialization.dll and
    C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFramework64v4.0.30319System.Xml.Serialization.dll



    (I think they're the same file, actually).



    Reran it, and it worked like a charm.
