Problem Installing MVC 2 RC2

Question

System is Windows 7 32 bit fully up2date, Visual Studio 2008 & 2010 RC. Trying to install AspNetMVC2_RC2_VS2008.exe following the instructions from http://haacked.com/archive/2010/02/10/installing-asp-net-mvc-2-rc-2-on-visual-studio.aspx I keep getting this error

Prerequisite check for system component Microsoft ASP.NET MVC 2 - Visual Studio 2008 Tools failed with the following error message: "The .NET Framework version 3.5 SP1 is required. You can install the .NET Framework from the Microsoft Web site. Please install a compatible version of the Framework and try installing this release again."

See the setup log file located at 'C:\Users\ME\AppData\Local\Temp\VSDCFD8.tmp\install.log' for more information.

Relevant info from the log file as follows..

Result of running operator 'ValueNotExists' on property 'ValidVS2008SKU': false
Result of running operator 'ValueNotEqualTo' on property 'AdminUser' and value 'True': false
Result of running operator 'ValueLessThan' on property 'Framework35SP1' and value '1': true
Result of checks for command 'MvcToolsVS2008\VS2008ToolsMVC2.msi' is 'Fail'
'Microsoft ASP.NET MVC 2 - Visual Studio 2008 Tools' RunCheck result: Fail
A prerequisite failed for Package "Microsoft ASP.NET MVC 2 - Visual Studio 2008 Tools"

I definitely have .NET 3.5 SP1 installed and up2date...

Try running the installer as administrator by right clicking the installer file and selecting "Run as administrator".

Thanks for the reponse çağdaş, but I am already a local administrator and UAC is turned down to minimum..

@Alex DeLarge : In that case, maybe you should try going to "Turn Windows features on and off" and then turning off .NET 3.5.1 and on again. Some on forums.asp.net/t/1511209.aspx says it has solved the issue (which is similar to yours) for them.

Yes, I actually did that this morning and it sorted it for me. Thanks for your help!!!
