Answer 1

You need to install the .net framework on you system

Open visual studio command prompt and type this command

aspnet_regiis -ga <UserName>

if this doesn'twork than use this command

aspnet_regiis -i

alternatively you can copy and paste this command into windows command prompt

%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -i

this will fix your problem
