It seems to be related to .net. Try uninstalling the versions you have and reinstalling from the MS web distributor/installer.

Try using this

.NET Framework Cleanup Tool User's Guide - Aaron Stebner's WebLog - Site Home - MSDN Blogs

that is the .net clean up tool. Remove ALL versions of ,net, then reinstall them and see if program works

ok so i went and ran the removal tool and that worked but in the middle of installing .net it says rolling back and then says: "Installation did not succeed"

Did you see this

You receive ?0x80070643? or ?0x643? error codes when you try to install .NET Framework updates through Windows Update or Microsoft Updates

ok i figured it out, apperently there was a left over folder, in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET., called assembly, i renamed it assembly2, then uninstalled the .net framework, then reinstalled it and it worked. this was such a pain and im just glad its over.

[aduy]

wow this is happening again, good thing i know what i did to fix it again haha. this is a real pain.

Hi aduy,
I'm so thankful for your advice in post #8! I had problems with .net framework for ages and each solution I tried did not lead to the wanted result.. Renaming this folder lead to a succesful installation! Thank you
