This is a problem with NET Framework 4.0, 4.5.1 and 4.5.2. While i had successfully installed 4.0 and 4.5.1, 4.5.2 just would not install and i kept getting install failed even when i tried to install it manually rather than in windows update. I tried many of the so called fixes that are online but nothing worked except a fresh install of windows and windows updates.

 

I recommend doing a fresh install and then go through the process of updating your OS or leave it and move on.

grab ninite, and let it do the rest.

Try this:

1- Open the command prompt with true admin rights.

2- Type the following commands and hit Enter each time:

net stop wuauserv    rename "%SystemRoot%\SoftwareDistribution" SoftwareDistributionOLD    net start wuauserv

3- Clean your Temp director. In your case it is located here: C:\Users\lepokez\AppData\Local\Temp

4- Start IE and clear it's browsing history and cache (or use CCleaner to do those tasks, up to you)

5- Make sure your system time is correct (synchronize it: Click on the time on the task bar, then on "Change date and time settings...", then go to the "Internet Time" tab, then on "Change Settings button", and on "Update Now". If it fails, pick another server from the drop down menu, and click on "Update Now" again)

5- Restart the system.

Try now. Does it work? If not, do you get a new error message/code?

well that's kinda complicated, so you might want to do that for last resort

 

use the Microsoft .NET Framework Repair Tool

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30135

and re-install again (and do not use the same installer from before)
 

I don't know what trigger that problem, but my guess is you download the web version of framework installer, and it just failed half the way.
