安装VS2008 .net framework Failed to open XML file 问题解决办法

 

Possible .NET Framework 3.5 installation failure caused by broken MSXML registration

The .NET Framework 3.5 can fail to install on a system where MSXML is not properly registered. There is a custom action that runs during .NET Framework 3.5 setup that tries to use some APIs in MSXML to modify some information in the web_mediumtrust.config file that is a part of the .NET Framework 2.0. In the cases that we've seen of this issue so far, one of the MSXML CLSID values was somehow unregistered on the system, and that causes this custom action to fail.
