.NET 3.5 SP1 Issues

Even though I have .NET 3.5 SP1 installed for applications requiring .NET 3.5, they still don't work. More mysteriously, after installing .NET 3.5 SP1, applications like KeePass (v2+) that worked before installing .NET 3.5, won't work anymore after installing it. The applications that won't work (that uses .NET 3.5) are listed as below:

KeePass Professional Edition (requires .NET 2.0 or later)
Graboid Video (can't remember if it worked before installing .NET 3.5)

I have upgraded to SP3, hoping that it may do some voodoo magic to fix up this problem. That didn't worked. I've also tried installing the Family update, and that didn't work either. As for uninstalling .NET then reinstalling, I can't uninstall .NET 2.0 and 3.0, it won't let me. Error message says (along these lines) that applications require them, so therefore it can't be uninstalled. I think there was a tool...I don't know. As for .NET 3.5 SP1, it can uninstall. Prehaps this 'tool' maybe able to help me:

Has anyone has experience with this problem before and successfully solved it? If so, then I would extremely appreciate how you solved your problem.

You can try doing a System Restore back to a date prior to the problem and try the installation again.

Start> All Programs> Accessories> System Tools> System Restore.

When this opens make sure that "Restore my computer to an earlier time" is chosen, and click on Next>.
The dates appearing in bold are the dates that you can restore to, click on the date that you want and then click Next> to start the System Restore, you may get the message telling you that you will have to restart your computer to start, click ok. When the computer restarts and you have logged on as the administrator a Restoration Complete page will appear, click on OK to complete the process.

This problem has plauged me from the day I installed .NET 3.5. Now it's .NET 3.5 SP1 + Family Update. I still have the problem. System Restore won't help me. Only with reverting back to 3.0 SP2.

FWIW: Did you try uninstalling/reinstalling/updating the apps you mentioned?

There is always the possibility of file corruption in those two apps, especially so if everything else seems to work properly.

Just tried. Nope, didn't work.
