1. Installation failed with error code: (0x8000FFFF), "Catastrophic failure"

While installing .NET Framework v4.8, we may come across a "0x8000ffff catastrophic failure" error.

2. This application could not be started

Applications for the .NET Framework typically require a specific version of the .NET Framework to install on the system. In some cases, we attempt to run an application without either an installed version or the expected version.

This often produces an error dialog box stating, 'This application could not be started'

This typically indicates one of the following conditions:

a. Corruption of a .NET Framework installation on the system.

b. The version of the .NET Framework needed by the application cannot be detected.


Our Support Experts resolve this by following the below procedure:

i. Initially, we download the .NET Framework Repair Tool (NetFxRepairTool.exe) from the URL: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30135

This should succeed if the .NET Framework Repair Tool has identified and corrected a corrupted .NET Framework installation.

iv. If the application runs successfully, select the Finish button. Otherwise, select the Next button.

v. If we select the Next button, the .NET Framework Repair Tool displays a dialog box regarding the logs to be sent to Microsoft. Select the Finish button to send diagnostic information to Microsoft.
