Why isn't there a simple answer to a problem with Troubleshooter in Windows 7: Error code: 0x80131700?

Answer 1

Hi,

The error code you are getting may occur if the .NET framework is not properly installed on your system, or it could also be due to misconfigured system files and registry issues.

If the underlying cause of the issue is the improper installation of .NET framework on your PC, then we suggest that you reinstall it to resolve the problem. By default, the built-in version of .NET framework in Windows 7 is 3.5.1. To reinstall the .NET framework, follow these steps:

1. Type features in the search box.
2. Choose the Turn Windows Features on or off option.
3. Look for Microsoft .NET framework 3.5.1 and uncheck the box next to it.
4. Restart your computer.
5. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
6. Check the box next to .NET framework 3.5.1.
7. Restart your system.
8. Try using the Troubleshooting Wizard.
