How To Fix error HRESULT 0xc8000222 In Net Framework Installation

Some applications require the latest version of net framework pre-installed before you can run them. If you don't have the latest version pre-installed, You need to install it separately to replace the outdated one in your machine (Link for the latest net framework download :http://www.microsoft.com/net/download).

The problem we often have here is the error msg like HRESULT 0xc8000222 when we are about to finish the Net Framework installation.

Please follow the below steps to complete the framework installation without error :

• Click START > ALL PROGRAMS > ACCESSORIES > right click COMMAND PROMPT and choose run as administrator (A command prompt window will open).

• Type : net stop WuAuServ in the command prompt and leave it that way for a second.

• Now click Windows > R > and type %windir% 

• Find a folder named SoftwareDistribution. Rename it with any name (we don't use this folder anymore, Renaming it is only for back up purpose).

• Back to command prompt again and type net start WuAuServ.

• Finish your net framework installation.
