This happens when I just double clicked the SQL Server 2008 R2 setup. It says that there are compatibility issues and still I can run the program. But after I click run it error comes saying

Please set registry key ,hklm software microsoft .netframework installroot to point to the .net framework install location

How can I get rid of this?

  • You have to uninstall .net framework, restart, and reinstall it, then restart. That should do! Commented Jun 14, 2014 at 8:59

I had a similar problem. My error message was

Please set registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\.NETFramework\InstallRoot to point
to the .NET Framework install location

However, the actual key was different. This code took care of it

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\.NETFramework]
"InstallRoot"="C:\\Windows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\"

I discovered this by using the trusted Process Monitor.
