Windows 7 How to install applications that fails because of .NET 3.5

How to install applications that fails because of .NET 3.5
It works at least with AutoCAD 2010.
This is quite easy, here it goes:

1. Link Removed due to 404 Error (any of them should work, but I recommend Visual Basic).
2. Install it (you don't have to install the optional features like the SQL server or whatever).
3. Install your application.

Some Notes:

• DO NOT INSTALL THE VISUAL STUDIO 2010, it won't work because of the .NET 4.0 Beta.
• If you have any Visual Studio stuff installed REMOVE ALL OF IT (except the VC++ Redistributable)
• This method works at least if you want to install AutoCAD 2010.
• It might not work for some applications.
• If you have problems, I will try my best to help you, but I can't guarantee anything.

Yes, the VS will install the framework.

There is Service Pack 1 for .NET Framework 3.5 located here:

Link Removed due to 404 Error

You will get a "Use turn on or off feature" error when installing it.
