I need to install a software build in .net platform that requires .net framework 4. Actually my problem is that I have a new laptop and I need to install a .net framework but while installation it give a error as in image I have uploaded. So I searched Google and I found that I need to install WIC (Windows Imaging Component). But when I install it, it gives the error that set up couldn't find update.inf file need to update your system. So what probably the error is that I can't install these components in my laptop. For information my laptop has Windows 7 32-bit OS.
