.NET Framework 3.5 issues on Win 10
Hey folks, I wanted to do a rerun of Enemy within but hit a bit of a roadblock.
Apparently the Game needs the .NET Framework 3.5 to run. I only have .NET Framework 4.8 and couldnt get Version 3.5 installed even with the help of Windows support.
Does anyone have a workaround?

Not working for me.
I`m getting an error code when trying to download the files.
(0x80072EE6)
Thats why im searching for a workaround in the first place.
Even contacted windows support
(that told me after 3hours of trying that the game shouldnt even use this framework anymore -.-)

Hello friend, try this:

If it doesn't work, I recommend uninstalling the net framework you have and restarting your PC, then reinstall net framework 4.5 or higher to avoid problems.

Enable net framework 3.5 in case it is disabled.

- Install directx 9.0 offline version.
- Verify that your windows 10 is activated, maybe you should activate it again.

In the worst case, it is best to format your PC with windows 10 downloaded from the widnows page since some of the updates is probably causing these conflicts.

I understand you because it happened to me up to 3 times with the windows 10 updates and I had to format, now I only update every so often.
