In an attempt to backtrack a little bit, I want to disable/uninstall .NET Framework 4.8 Features on the server VM to see if I can reproduce the problem there.

Yesterday I downloaded and installed Microsoft's .Net Framework for WinXP Pro so I could use a map editing program for BF1942. It turns out I don't like the editing program so I uninstalled it ...

2] Uninstall Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6 or higher According to the reports, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6 was found to interrupt the installation of .NET Framework 3.5.
