.NET Framework installation error. Error code - HRESULT 0xc8000222

Microsoft .NET Framework is a programming infrastructure for building and developing application, which primarily run on Windows Platform. Those software, which have developed by Microsoft  .NET Framework, to run those you have to install Microsoft .NET Framework package. Sometime the installation have failed with a error message HRESULT 0xc8000222. You may also get those error code during repairing process. To resolve this issue you have to rename a folder named "SoftwareDistribution" into windows directory. You can rename it into any name as your wish. May be you will be blocked by windows security during rename this folder. Because there is one service named "Windows Update " is running associate with this folder. That's why, first of all, you have to stop it to rename that folder. You can stop it from "Services" console which you will get into the "Administrative Tools" under the "Control Panel". Alternatively, you can open "Services" console directly from "Run" option. Just open the "Run" and then type "services.msc". Now open the service console and then select "Windows Update" service. Double click it and then select stop. Now you are ready to rename that folder. Folder location is "C:\Windows". After renaming process is complete, please start again the "Windows Update" service. There is another way to processing the same task, that is "Command Prompt". Just open the "Command Prompt" with administrator privileges. Then stop the "Windows update" service. Please write the following command:- 

net stop wuauserv

Type the command and press "Enter". Now you will get one successful message. Now rename that folder. After renaming process has completed, now go to the "Command Prompt" again with administrative privileges. Write the following command.

net start wuauserv

Now run again the .NET Framework installer package. Hope you will be successful now.
