I'm currently trying to install Atmel Studio 6.2 with .NET and the Visual Studio Isolated Shell 10.0 portion of the install is giving me some trouble.

When I attempt to install Atmel Studio, it tries to install .NET Framework 4 and immediately fails with the resulting log:

My first reaction was to try and uninstall/reinstall .NET Framework 4. When I attempt to uninstall it, I receive the following error:

The path 'C:\Users\MyUser\appdata\local\temp\sit31981.tmp\wcu\mtpack\NetFx_DTP.msi' cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package 'NetFx_DTP.msi' in a folder from which you can install the product Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Multi-Targeting Pack

I've tried searching around my computer to try and find this file with no luck. I've also done some research to try and find the file 'NetFx_DTP.msi' by itself with no luck there either.

If anyone has any tips on how to possibly solve this, it'd be much appreciated. Thanks!

For Windows 10 / Server 2012R2:

You should now have a %programfiles(x86)%\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.0\ folder with the 4.0 stuff.
