(FIX FROM MS THAT WORKS!) Unable to install Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0.

Well, this post is not related at all to photography but this is something relevant to my work. Recently I had an issue to install Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 on one of our Citrix servers in the office. 

The error code that it produced is 0x800b010b. 

After performing some troubleshooting on my own and by searching the Microsoft KBs as well as other forums, I could not find a solution at all. Finally, I had to log a case with Microsoft to find a fix for this.

And to my surprise, the solution was sooooo simple.

Check out the solution below : 

 ===============================================================================

Symptom
