Installation failed due to incompatible software version on Windows 8.1.
I needed to reinstall Windows 8 due to a corrupted OS, and everything seemed fine until I attempted to install my games and curses. Now downloading the .NET framework consistently triggers error code 0x800F0906. Despite checking all the solutions on Microsoft’s support site, I haven’t managed to install .NET Framework 3.5. Any advice would be highly valued.
Search for the offline edition and save it—then add it to your system.
