    I tried downloading the .NET framework thing and was told I needed to delete some programs before it could finish downloading. However, none of the programs it told me to delete are on my computer. I really don't know what to do. Any help here would be greatly appreciated and I'll give +rep to the one who can completely fix my problem.

    This is what I get

    Go to the Control Panel and launch Add/Remove Programs
    Remove all instances of Visual Studio 2008/Codename Orcas products
    Remove any remaining supporting products in the specified order.
    Remove "MSDN Library for Visual Studio 2008 Beta"
    Remove "Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5"
    Remove "Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 Design Tools"
    Remove "Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 for Devices"
    Remove "Microsoft Visual Studio Performance Collection Tools"
    Remove "Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK R2 for Pocket PC"
    Remove "Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK R2 for Smartphone"
    Remove "Crystal Reports 2007"
    Remove "Visual Studio Asset System"
    Remove "Microsoft Visual Studio Web Authoring Component / Microsoft Web Designer Tools"
    Remove "Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Tools for the 2007 Microsoft Office System Runtime"
    Remove "Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Tools for the 2007 Microsoft Office System Runtime Language Pack" (non-English editions only)
    Remove "Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Office Runtime 3.0"
    Remove "Microsoft Document Explorer"
    Remove "Microsoft Document Explorer 2005 Language Pack" (non-English editions only)
    Remove "Microsoft Device Emulator 3.0"
    Remove "Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 3.5"
    Remove "Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 2.0 SP1"
    Remove ".NET Framework 2.0 SDK"
    Remove "Microsoft Visual Studio Codename Orcas Remote Debugger"
    Remove "Microsoft Visual Studio 64bit Prerequisites Beta" (64-bit platforms only)
    Remove "Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5"
    Install the Visual Studio 2008 edition you wish to use.

    Could my problem be that I need to download Visual Studios 2008 first?

    first, it's kinda in the wrong section but anyway...
    That's the first time I see such a thing. I've installed .net framework numerous time and the installer takes care of everything. I think it's more of a warning. Try to find an external link to download the executable file and run it, that's it. Or wait for Zer0 to post something. He should have the answer. And you don't need MVS to install the .net framework.

    Try removing the .NET frameworks you already have, maybe removing one or both of these can help fix your problem:
    .NET Framework 2.0 SDK
    Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5

    Let me know how it goes!
