Hi A-Quatermain,
Some clarification:
What's your OS?
As the event log mentioned:
Product: Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 -- Error 1714.The older version of Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group. System Error 1612.Error 1714 actually means “The older version of �could not be removed�And System Error 1612 tells us “The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it.�br/>
The Root cause of the issuecan be:
- The Windows Installer registry information for the .NET Frameworkgot into an inconsistent state; the system thinks that one or more hotfixes are installed for the .NET Framework, but the information about the source location of the hotfix is missing from the registry
- The Windows Installer cache (%windir%\Installer) is missing some information about a .NET Frameworkpatch that is installed on the system
Here are two methods for you to solve your issue:
One simple solution can be to use
.NET cleanuptool to remove .NET3.5 SP1and then tryinstalling .NET 3.5 sp1 again.
Another solution can be rebuilding the installer cache.
For more information, see:

If no avail, could you please try to use
