[URGENT] cannot install .net framework 3.5 on a particular machine

[thomas49th]

Hi, I have a laptop which I was fixing for a mate. But for some stupid reason I cannot install the .net framework 3.5 on it. If i try either the download install client or the full standalone offline installation I get the same error of something like setup has failed, removing files then proceeding onto setup.exe has stopped working.

I have tried going to turn windows features on and off and unchecking selecting .net framework 3.0 and tried 3.5 install then. I then tried rechecking those on the list as well to no avail.

I have checked windows module installer, cryptographic and windows update services are on.

I have tried installing .net framework 3.0 but it says you need to turn features off (or on), which I did, but no luck

I thought perhaps it was an old beta version of .net framework but i couldn't find anything.

The error log is as follows:
