OTHER TIPS

I followed the directions in 2.3.1.1 Enable Samesite for the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 bootstrapper package and now everything works perfect.

Thanks

For VS 2015, here is a very simple solution (including some Michael Eakins answer):

  1. Download the installer here: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkID=118080

  2. Extract / open with 7zip or Winrar and extract the contence to a folder

  3. Copy/move everything under the extracted folder "wcu\dotNetFramework" path to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 4.0\SDK\Bootstrapper\Packages\DotNetFX35SP1

  1. Publish in VS2015

Ultimately, having had the same issue as the creator Ryan, I solved my delima by folling these steps:

Update the Package Data

Open the [Program Files]\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\DotNetFx35SP1 folder or %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\DotNetFx35SP1 on x64 operating systems Edit the Product.xml file in Notepad. Paste the following into the < PackageFiles > element: 

<PackageFile Name="TOOLS\clwireg.exe"/>
<PackageFile Name="TOOLS\clwireg_x64.exe"/>
<PackageFile Name="TOOLS\clwireg_ia64.exe"/>

Find the element for < PackageFile Name="dotNetFX30\XPSEPSC-x86-en-US.exe" and change the PublicKey value to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ind the element for < PackageFile Name="dotNetFX30\XPSEPSC-amd64-en-US.exe" and change the PublicKey value to the same as in step 4 above Save the product.xml file

Download and Extract the Core Installation Files

Navigate to the following URL: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkID=118080 Download the dotNetFx35.exe file to your local disk. Open a Command Prompt window and change to the directory to which you downloaded dotNetFx35.exe. At the command prompt, type: dotNetFx35.exe /x:. This will extract the Framework files to a folder named “WCU” in the current directory. Copy the contents of the WCU\dotNetFramework folder and paste them in the %Program Files%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\DotNetFx35SP1 folder (%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\DotNetFx35SP1 on x64 operating systems). Note: Do not copy the WCU\dotNetFramework folder itself. There should be 5 folders under the WCU folder, and each of these should now appear in the DotNetFx35SP1 folder. The folder structure should resemble the following: o DotNetFx35SP1 (folder) dotNetFX20 (folder dotNetFX30 (folder) dotNetFX35 (folder) dotNetMSP (folder) TOOLS folder) en (or some other localized folder) dotNetFx35setup.exe (file)

You may now delete the files and folders you downloaded and extracted in steps 2 and 4.
